Note: I'm afraid that in the way of referencing, I have not been a stickler for detail, possibly to the regret of some of you. Also, as far as style is concerned, my indiscriminate use of parentheses and hyphens, among other things, when sometimes brackets and dashes, and other means of punctuation would have been better, may be frowned upon. My apologies to those who disapprove of these small liberties. The focus has been primarily on content rather than form./
Je crains de ne pas avoir fourni les sources avec le souci du détail, ce que certains parmi vous peut-être regretteront. Aussi, en matière de style, mon emploi généralisé de la parenthèse et du trait d'union, entre autres choses, quand parfois le crochet ou le tiret, ou une autre marque de ponctuation aurait été préférable, sera peut-être mal vu. Mes excuxes à ceux qui désapprouvent ces petites licences. L'accent a été mis en priorité sur le contenu plutôt que la forme.
