[lojban] Bad Founders, no biscuit.

In several large threads back in May when I was working just about
every day on my PEG parser, we (me, xorxes, John, Bob, Nora, others)
had discussions about the interactions of the various magic words.

It would seem the founders had a severe mental lapse, because I just
checked, and no-one remembered what Arnt just remembered in #lojban:

There's a big list of these interactions in the Red Book.
http://lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter19.html
section 16.

Bad forgetful Founders!  No cookies for you!

Anyways, that list isn't actually perfect (it doesn't handle, for
example, "zo broda bu", and IMO it treats .y. as a word more than
should be the case), but it's pretty good.  If you assume that the
following note is supposed to be there somewhere, it's nearly
perfect:

    This list is in order of importance; any apparent contradictions
    are grammatical errors.

That seems to have been the intent, but if the founders could speak
to that I'd appreciate it.
