+The `getitems' package v1.0
+Copyright (C) 2016 Anders Hendrickson (anders.hendrickson@snc.edu)
+
+This package provides a \gatheritems command to parse a list of data separated 
+by \item tokens.  This makes it easier to define custom environments which 
+structure their data in the same way that itemize or enumerate do.
