+# Zisp Manual
+
+This document explains the Zisp language and its implementation.
+
+Zisp intentionally blurs the line between developers and users of the
+language.  After all, Zisp is software, and its users are software
+developers; the easiest way to explain *why* Zisp does certain things

+
+That doesn't mean this manual will walk you through the source code
+line by line.  Instead, consider it a documentation of the code base
+at large, doubling as a reference to the language implemented by the
+code base.
