how to write documents:
1. write your first draft
2. delete the parentheses
3. deal with the nested parentheses (you had them, didn't you?)
4. oops I accidentally more parentheses
@yaakov Protip: As a first pass, move all the parenthesized expressions into footnotes[1].
1. Witches love footnotes. (They can even contain a layer of parenthesis[2].)
2. And other footnotes[1]. Bonus, you can create a full DAG.
3. Not sure where to put extra ideas that an editor said wasn't useful? Orphaned clauses don't have to be garbage collected. Dump them all down here. A top-down graph traversal will never find them.
