I know that people are often allergic to reading documentation
these days, and expect to be able to point and click there
way by trial and error :-)

But compilers are complex tools, and if you want to get the
best out of *any* compiler technology, I strongly recommend
that you *do* in fact "read all the documentation". It is
always surprising to see people struggling when there is
a way that the compiler can help them solve their problem
if they would take the effort to read the documentation.

You can poke fun at this suggestion if you like, but it
remains a very good piece of advice :-)
