+# makechecklist.py: a quick parser for a specifically-formatted LaTeX file
+# that produces a nice checklist in {longtable} for the entire list.
+# The list is, or should be, larger than the number of cells on any one 
+# bingo card, so a canonical list of the cells is useful when evaluating any
+# one card.
