I took the liberty to merge 15+ PRs yesterday, all of obvious nature
(typo/syntax/grammar).
Isn't the current goal to provide a language specification that
describes how things are _today_ - and then moving on, I imagine any
(language level) RFC would be modifications to the language spec?
As for your concrete comments on the PRs; We may need a "nomenclatures
document" (more then just the "Terms and Definitions" section)?
Lets hope we don't need standards committees and excessive levels of
politics to organize the document.
