Well I would disagree and say that the bare minimum is here. This is why I stopped contributing to the wiki: I had nothing else interesting to add. So now I ask: what exactly is missing from this bare minimum? In my opinion, questions such as "can I use the flag function inside the rule function" are definitely not part of the bare minimum. (btw, the answer is: the use of the flag function inside the rule function is not specified, thus not documented) -- Romain Bardou
