[sword-devel] Synodal versification & IBT modules?

[DM Smith]

More:
Once that is written, the worst case for analysis is a book that is entirely absent. Basically, when you find something from a book, you don't need to look any further in the book and go to the next.

He is using this in STEP to prune the v11n to only those books, chapters and verses that are actually present. On old slow hardware he reported that it is very fast to analyze an entire module.
