I'm straying off topic here but let me suggest that emacs could (and is) = used by first learners and that the Introduction could be used as a Lisp = manual for such people. Hence the need to clarify things and slightly bridge the gap between the = Introduction and the Reference. There is nothing intrinsically difficult to emacs lisp, compared to a = language (and ecosystem) like AppleScript that *is* advertised as a = first learner language, even though both target the same class of = people: users who need to do automation on their machine. That's exactly the spirit of what Stallman wrote when he referred to = secretaries who were not conscious of doing "programming" but were still = writing programs in Emacs.
