Which remains a fundamental problem with AS. It's "distributed complexity"
if I may coin a term. It's relatively easy to grok AS basics for newcomers,
but most of the useful things you can do happen to reside in various apps
and utilities. They all have different depth of AS adherence, different
dictionaries, different ways of doing things. We all have to rely on
specific app vendor's indulgence in documentation and examples, that are
often uneven or lacking.
