Hi,

Currently fact tables (1) support only the types `int', `float', and `string'
and (2) are not documented (some documentation was mailed to the
mercury-developers mailing list, but was never committed).

A solution to (1) is not likely in the near future.

Given this, we have several options:
	(a) document them
	(b) add documentation for them to the .texi files, but leave
	    it commented out, until such time as (2) is solved
	(c) delete the support for fact tables

Opinions?
