The way I read it is that one has little trouble answering a question by
reading the documentation if one knows *exactly* where to look.
Then you read wrong. What my tap-dance instructions said were to find
the right *CHAPTER* (for upcoming 2.6/3.0) and use ^Find to find the
exact place. If you don't know that def statements are compound
statements and not lexical analysis, data, expressions, or simple
statements, they you would profit from reading a bit more at the top of
each chapter.
