Yes, lots of overthinking, and silly meta thinking.
The text example was too messy.
If I use puts and print for all my Euphoria examples then am I still programming in Euphoria 1.5 ? That explains why I have not tried updating the documentation for writef and writefln.
If I am thinking in Pascal then I should use writefln all the time because I like the "ln" part of the procedure?
If I use i,j,k for all my loops am I still programing in Fortran?
Should I complain if I think in Python
for i in range(4): print i
and can't write generators and ranges?
Ultimately how does this meta thinking mess up the documentation. How do I accomodate completely new programmers, and how do I provide documentation for most of you who know more programming than me?
