OK, John, I added a new section of "Informal remarks" in my new draft
that I believe fulfills the spirit of your comments. It's right near
the top of
https://github.com/gambiteer/srfi-179-followup/blob/b452cfbcbe8aa2d7677dddb326d57754cc8aa9ca/srfi-179.html
I also removed the phrase "by exploiting the algebraic structure of
affine one-to-one mappings on multi-indices" from the Rationale. That
probably helps, too.
