I realize after re-reading that I interpreted part of the `rogers'
spec as a general requirement.  Apologies.  The rest of the above
can be ignored.

An additional comment:

I'm not exactly sure what this paragraph means:

From what comes before, I gather that a v-list is a list of three or
more length-two numeric lists.  Maybe such a simple structure and its
operations should just be described at the head of the specification.
(Accessors would also be helpful, to eliminate the need for the
hand-rolled cadr and caddr in the `rogers' spec.)
