tame­floats – Ex­per­i­men­tally use \holdin­gin­serts with LaTeX floats

LaTeX’s fig­ures, ta­bles, and \margin­pars are dan­ger­ous for foot­notes (and prob­a­bly also \en­largeth­is­page). Here is a pro­posal (a ‘patch’ pack­age) to help, by us­ing \holdin­gin­serts in a sim­ple way. It re­places the orig­i­nal prob­lem with a new one — it is an ex­per­i­ment to find out whether the new prob­lem is less bad (or it is just a con­tri­bu­tion to the dis­cus­sion, maybe just a sum­mary of pre­vi­ous work). The files pro­vide fur­ther in­for­ma­tion.
