If you consider it a doc bug or deficiency, go to sourceforge, register if
you have not, go to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470
and file a doc bug.  Give a specific suggestion like the above, giving the
LibRef section number and paragraph and sentence number where you would put
it.  Also give rationale (which I snipped) explaining how as newcomer you
were unnecessarily puzzled, mislead, or whatever.  If one of doc
maintainers agree, as they have with most of my suggestions, they will add
to the LaTex master copy.  (Patches to LaTex source are also accepted, for
those who can make such.)  This is how docs keep getting better.

I never thought so.  You have obviously looked pretty carefully at all
three languages, given them a fair if personal evaluation -- and come to
the 'right' conclusion ;-).
