    Imagine? I used to do it. When I first started out, I would get stacks of the Chicago Municipal Code revisions on onionskin and it was my job to follow the instructions to update the five-inch binder. "Remove pages 123.4 - 123.6 and replace with pages 123.4a-123.7." Later, when I learned about diffs, I understood the concept immediately.
