   Literate programming allows you take entire chunks of error verification   
   out of the way by replacing them with a chunk tag.  (Now you look at the   
   relevant part of your code without having to look at irrelevant parts.)   
   When you want to compile your program, the literate programming tool   
   replaces the chunk tag with the code to which it refers.
