+We use some conventions in this manual.

address@hidden @bullet

address@hidden
+For some procedures, notably type predicates, we use "iff" to mean
+"if and only if".  The construct is usually something like: "Return
+VAL iff CONDITION", where VAL is usually "#t" or "non-#f".  This
+typically means that VAL is returned if CONDITION holds, and that #f is
+returned otherwise.

address@hidden Add other conventions here.
