With Marius's blessing, I've restored most or all of the documentation
to its state before the recent series of over-enthusiastic updates.
Although I was pretty methodical, and checked the entire cheat sheet
(the development snapshot version), it is certainly possible that I
missed something.
I only inspected the top-level page and everything linked from it. If
there's a third-level page, I would have missed it. Let me know.
I am sure that there is a lot of baby in that bathwater. If something
is unclear or incorrect, let me know and we can work to fix it.
If you see any other issue ... let me know.

I should note that I reverted away all of the changes starting with
those updates. I did not attempt to review intermediate updates by
other people; I assumed that they were correcting errors in that series
of updates and so were no longer necessary. If there were substantive
updates in there that need to be un-reverted... let me know.

There was a command or function "isset" mentioned in a recent thread
that I still do not see in the cheat sheet. Used in the context of
var[3] to added a 4th element to an 3 element array passed by name. Was
that a typu?
Unrelated, I also had a segfault exit that caused me to have to rewrite
2 modules earlier this morning, I hadn't saved recently enough. No
keyboard activity had been done in the preceding 10 seconds. This from:
OpenSCAD https://www.openscad.org/version 2025.04.28.ai25192 (git
535d96fe2) as I haven't updated since this latest argument started.
Thanks all, for some really great software.

I don't think OpenSCAD has sets so why would there be an inset?

There was a command or function "isset" mentioned in a recent thread that I still do not see in the cheat sheet. Used in the context of var[3] to added a 4th element to an 3 element array passed by name. Was that a typu?
It doesn’t exist. I think it was a hypothetical function that checked to see if a value was set. Perhaps it should really have been is_undef().

File an issue, please. If I could find a log entry, but dmesg is clean except for cups refreshing its printer list.
The window OpenSCAD was running in said this:

But I've no clue where that core dump is... Nor have I rebooted, I just

60 some more LOC since w/o further problems.

Makes sense. Thanks Jordan. I did have a problem with an if() earlier
today, setting a var from the true/false of that was a showstopper error
so since I needed a yes or no, I wound up multiplying the passed in
value, the product of which if (k) was 0 or the multiplier if 1 was
passed in. Worked exactly as I needed.. That did work as advertised on
the cheat sheet a couple months back. And it works as expected about 10
other places in this current projects src file. It is all the stuff
for a miniature paper cutter, used to make the paper wrapped cartridges
used during our civil war in the 1860's.
