b8019a96d5 Give the page a section on the two printers it never mentioned
print and println had no line anywhere on index.html — a builtin the reader
meets in the first example and is never told about. There is a section for
them now, between arrays and the prelude: what the walk covers, that an enum
comes back as its name and a Ptr does not get followed, that a string is raw
at the top and quoted inside a structure, and that the depth and span caps
are what keep a grid from printing a screenful. printing.flan is beside the
other examples so check.sh has been green on every line of it.

The prelude's table loses its output row, because the prelude has no output
functions left, and the fifty-odd example blocks follow the files they quote.

Two pinned things moved. sand-headless prints 15595743031174623232 where it
printed -2851001042534928384: same bits, read unsigned, because the cast that
made it signed is gone. bounds.flan's trap moved from column 28 to 19, which
is where (at xs i) now starts on that line.

And the indirection-cell illustration is defer.flan rather than hello.flan.
hello.flan cannot show a cell any more: its one call was to a prelude
function, and println is compiler-provided, so the smallest program makes no
Flan-to-Flan call at all. defer.flan's main calls work, and is already on the
page a few sections up.

403e598145 Catch up with four facts that moved while this page sat on a branch
The quote checker found three of them on the first run against the new tip: the
sand hash was changed deliberately by the grid lane, break and continue now
refuse by name instead of reading as unknown functions, and the usage text grew
--debug. The prelude also grew a string and UTF-8 family the table did not list.

e0947adb2a An empty needle matched everything, so half the quote checks were decoration
`case $x in *""*)` is always true, so every check whose text came from a grep
went green the moment the line it greps for was renamed — which is exactly the
case those checks exist for, and they guard files other lanes are editing.
Verified by pointing one grep at a string that is not there: ok before, FAIL
after. sqrt-f32 was overstated in the same spirit; it is a declare, not Flan.

4d1a0c7807 Build sand for wasm32 and compare the hash, rather than repeat the number
It is the project's headline cross-target claim and the page was asserting it
second-hand. Both targets print 2256461126764447066 on this machine, so the
transcript is now what the page shows.

6c34d4a66e Quote the compiler's own words for the index rule, and pin the Emacs keys
The paraphrase of why a wide index is refused was shorter and said less than
the message; and the keybinding table came from NEXT.md, which is two keys
behind flan-mode.el, so it now reads the keymap instead.

a5e0c01224 Check the quoted blocks too, since a paraphrase reads exactly like a quotation
The blocks that are not programs were the ones that had drifted: the usage text
had lost its indentation and the refusal table had trimmed "(see plan.org)" off
every message, so the page was showing wording the compiler does not print.
