Complications

[Rob Beezer]

<rant>
We have footnotes, which everybody knows are trouble.

For LaTeX, we use tcolorbox, to help format and style blocks ("environments").

We have "detached" proofs, which I guess are reasonable, but I still feel they
should be inside THEOREM-LIKE.

Then we added "solution proofs" to go inside #hint, #answer, #solution.

And we expanded #proof to PROOF-LIKE: proof, argument, justification, reasoning,
explanation

No surprise: a #fn in a detached #justification behaves poorly, and worse, is a
real trial to make behave and the code is impenetrable.

Only by an Act of God does a #fn inside a #reasoning inside a #hint inside an
#exercise behave.

There, that feels better. Recording this so the next time I'm pessimistic about
some new complicated construction I'll remember to come back here and read this
over. ;-)
