It seems to have started in a message from Paul:
" - calculus1:
   - same for unary"
which seems to refer back to
"  - removed unary in limits1/limit... it doesn't seem strictly
 necessary (and is rather not k14)"
I had initailly read this as Paul was removing the WORD unary, but Stan
seems to be interpreting it as removing the unary MEANING.
