A FAQ/Tutorial has been suggested before (several times), and I offered to
co-ordinate, but haven't gotten around to it yet - mainly because I am unsure
what topics need to be addressed. I'll take another look at it, but if anyone

am sure I sent in a more up-to-date version of the primitives reference.
