Unfortunately the documentation manages to hide most of the capabilities
or forces you to discover the full range of capabilities by very time
consuming experiments.  Then, when you've figured out how to make it work
on a subset of your problem, you discover it has some undocumented internal
limit that prevents your script from working with real world data.
