2. History
In this chapter we provide a brief history of the tools described in
this book. You don't need to know this history in order to use the
tools. However, the history of how the tools developed over time helps
explain why the tools act the way that they do today. Also, in a book
like this, it's only fair for us to credit the original authors and
sources of inspiration, and to explain what they did.
