Stimpy!  You fool!

Okay, a summary of early votes (please shout if I'm misrepresenting
anyone here):

	'/'/2				'//'/2
	-----				------
	Ralph				Fergus
	Tyson
	David Overton
	Michael Day

	No real objection to '/'/2
	--------------------------
	Mark

Is this sufficient to support the addition of '/'/2?

A vote is probably the right thing to do here: it's such a grey point
that both sides could debate this until the cows come home without
achieving unanimity.
