That would be nice, but I could also understand if he likes to limit
the publicity of that very strong...

But IMHO I will have to have a very good insight into the different
means of expression to be able to use the full power of the language
(and that doesn't only mean to know what it does, but also how it
works).

And I want to understand the concepts behind (call it mental theft,
if you want), because that would enable me to understand how things
work together, and to use this knowledge in my own projects. ;)

Oh, I expect the experts to be here on the list - so the consequence
will immediately be to have such difficulties. But as long as the
ratio of that decreases, I'm still learning ;) But don't try to destroy
my motivation...

Thanks && kind regards
