There are a great many things the documentation should mention, but
doesn't. I can now state from experience the documentation on rules
and simplification could be quite a bit clearer, for example. Also,
examples are often worth many, many words. Ideally I would like to have
a working, useful example be included with each documentation entry,
but I suppose that's a bit much to ask, at least for a while.
