Yes those descriptions below are much better. I guess I glossed
over them. I focused too much on the cheat sheet, because I
assumed the cheat sheet was the quick link to function main pages
(which seems to be the case). Perhaps this is a case where 'more'
isn't better? I'm not quite sure what the cheat sheet really is
providing...
I mean if it was an example of common uses of the function that
would be one thing. But I guess I'm not sure what information one
is supposed to get from the 'cheat' sheet.
