in thread [OT] How about an Off Topic Section?

The "types of discourse" are top-level divisions, chosen by the OP: (1) asking for advice/assistance; (2) sharing (more or less) finished code; (3) thinking out loud...

The "multiple use/view modes" would be much finer grained -- essentially consisting of heuristically filtering individual nodes from view, using predicates customized by the user.

So they're pretty much orthogonal, afaict.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
