Understood, and I just meant in general (not org integration). This
was a bit tongue in cheek; I don't think anyone would *expect* that
something like this could be used without a manual. It's complicated
and takes a bit to parse, just like any other software! I think it's
great thus far, but can't fathom how someone could "pick it up" and
start using it from scratch with no docs.
