[quote Nessari, Illúbequía, Seattle, Cascadia][quote Matrix, Conversational Speaker]In an Anthropology course I took earlier this year called "Prehistory of the Americas", we actually briefly discussed the Solutrian hypothesis.

I find it a little interesting that I've seen the Solutrian hypothesis criticized as racist and colonialist. Mostly because the migrants would have been Old Europeans. I mean, maybe there are racist subtext to the way it's discussed, but I've never seen something like "primitive Siberians never could have made the trip, it must have been enterprising White Europeans" or anything that smelled of such a sentiment.
No doubt racism in history (and historiography) is a big deal, but in the ...

I've made some progress on implementing metathesis, but the process involves rewriting a lot of the code that does rule application, and there are some complications (the same ones I've had before, mostly - setting the right conditions under which to update the cursor).
But it occurred to me that I might be duplicating work: if I implement what is described in the above post, then I can treat the source pattern (the first part of the transform statement, on the left side of the [tt]>...
