first step is to gather the documentation we have: comments in code, tedit files, old emails then we can discover the gaps

There are some documents now in the repo under docs/internal/opcodes.tedit => medley-docs-internal-opcodes.pdf in the Medley-PDFs on the shared Internet google drive. https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/lispcore/859A698F-30F6-4957-BB30-61C06E70A402%40gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer https://gist.github.com/masinter/0c62f36fcb3750b7c108a23c61ad62c9
