Andrew,
It's details that make this list what it is. (And what's _that_, eh? . . .)
Keep 'em coming, I say!

Details. You want details?
Well accordingly to the German Swiss student sitting at my left the
full works (Sammelten Werken?) is `und so weiter und so fort' which
looks like a masterpiece of Swiss precision overkill to me.
He even claims to have observed the above in `classic Swiss
literature'. Who he, I hear you muse? well, I assumed it was another
name for {} (aka Danish O) so I made inquiries re the extension of
said concept and the only thing I recognized in the reply was William
Tell - and even then I had never heard of the author (something like
Gotthelf?).
That enough details for you?
