Thanks for the suggestion. I added instantiation code to the examples
in the README file, as well as added some recursive examples to the
README. This resulted in a new minor release paraffin.2.0a which is
mostly just an update to the README file, plus eliminating old dead
comments in the code. Note also, that if you build the test driver
for paraffin, it runs these examples, plus many more. You can of course,
view the test code, to see these examples in their entirety.
