I don't know either mate - I'm going to have to learn, and probably by
trial and error - there's not a lot of good documentation about this
use case or this need. I presume it's like the man pages, or Deleuze
and Guattari - impregnable to the neophyte, but once you no longer
really need them, they make sense. Is ok, here comes learning!
