IMHO, I think it's fair that the Lua material assumes that the 
software developer has a reasonable level of competence. I frown 
at too much spoon-feeding -- and I cringe at some of the things 
people ask at stackoverflow. Developers need to invest a bit in 
learning the tools, and IMHO the Lua source code is not the place 
for teaching that.

Perhaps there is a market for an "Idiot's Guide to" book... :-)
