It has been brought to my attention that I made an error in trying to
clarify the symbolic use of ["]. Confounding things even further, I
suppose. It does, of course, symbolize inches, but in terms of angles,
it is signifies seconds, not minutes, which uses ['], linearly used for
feet.
Sorry for any confusion.
