Fair enough ;-). I am trying to put together a decor_hints file to give
an overview of the new features, but it is taking a while. If anyone
wants to help, feel free. Some of these things are not easy to do in the
current man page setup.
Maybe what I can do is when I can write up something of a small HowTo for
the new featurisms, then someone might want to rewrite some of the man
page entries. Having fairly intimate knowledge of internal operation of
these new features sometimes makes it difficult to write objectively about
usage, it might be better explained by someone who is familiar with these
features, but from a new perspective (thus the HowTo :-).
