As I am tring to rewrite the overview chapter in the documentation,
I stumbled across the meaning of "worms".
Both the texi-docs and one comment in worm.c claim that a connected set
of empty vertices can be called "worm".
I find this very counter-intuitive and confusing, and I can find no
single instance in the code where "worm" would be used in this sense.
See e.g. build_worms().
Can we agree that a worm consists of stones? The subtle difference between
worm and strings is then that worms live only at stackp == 0...
An introductory chapter, as I understand its purpose, shouldn't start with
three paragraphs
"A @dfn{...} is a ..."
anyway.
