I'd looked at that. It looks as if it will be an invaluable reference 
once I know the language, but I don't see it as a tutorial. For example, 
on the page you reference, where does it explain what .all means? Where 
does it say that .all dereferences the access type?

Presumably being a wikibook I could edit it, but I don't know enough 
about the language to do that and get it right. I've raised it on the 
comments page.

Ah, now /that/ looks promising! Thanks.
