Mistakes in the "sequence types" page:
...
* explanation for example with lists of lists made confusing use of
the word "contains" to mean "is built out of".
* wrong formula for slices with step. Is it ok to use LaTeX formulas
(which become images in the html document)? This version needs one
because it's based on a fraction. Just writing "\code{(j-i)/k}" here would
be ambiguous because it looks like a rounding-down-to-the-previous-integer
division, which is not what we need here. Of course we could write
"\code{float(j-i)/k}" but it just looks confusing.
