One more thing lest I forget. The official FPC documentation is very
good, especially for documents created by volunteers and hobbyists.
That it is not accompanied by examples
c:\fpc\docs>dir ex*.pp /s | grep -c ex

What do I miss?
they are not /in/ the documentation to be read with the docs... think about it
like a programming book you by at the store... you are reading a chapter about
pointers and there's a simple working demo included in the chapter that is
expanded on the further you read in the chapter...
that the sources for the demos are on the disk is a GoodThing<tm> because that
saves the reader from having to type them in... however, that they are on the
disk and not in the documentation also means that the reader cannot look at and
contemplate them while reading the (printed) documentation while in the
""library"" with their C0FFEE while taking their morning/daily
"constitutional"... or at the breakfast table or on the bus or train or even
just while reading in bed...
