Well, I have read all of the Exegesis, and some of the Apocalypses, although I tended to skim over the one on regular expressions after the first few pages.

I thought that this book might be good for collecting together what is known so far in a concise manner, and would be mainly useful in bringing newcomers up to speed, in case people want to contribute to further development, or start planning their own extensions.  Sort of like how people can start writing apps for a new operating system that isn't ready for casual users to use yet, so that when it is, your app or extension is ready right away.

Now, what is "funny money"?
