Nothing is too simple for the Cookbook.  For example, I
regularly use (and contribute to) the Cookbook when writing
system admin type scripts in PLT Scheme.  The programs are
really simple but I just don't do this often enough to
store the library APIs in my head.  The Cookbook has been
really helpful to me.

The pattern for writing macros that parse infix syntax
would be a great contribution to the Cookbook.

Also please note that it is very helpful just to create
recipe stubs (that is, just a question without an answer)
as that signals to those who write recipes what those who
use recipes need.
