something you haven't read yet?

Many of our module docs serve a dual purpose as a tutorial *and* as an API
reference. That's actually a problem, and often a sign of a separate
"HOWTO" guide trying to get out.

Actually doing the work to split them is rather tedious though, so it tends
not to happen very often.

Cheers,
