Installing the docs isn't always automatic though.  If you build from  
source, it's important to make install-all.

Also, many standard libraries are not documented.

Note the capital.  It is a standard library.

It definitely takes some getting use to.  The Pickaxe (2nd Edition)  
has an appendix that is very good for getting introductions to the  
standard libraries.  It helps you know what's in there.

I certainly agree that things could be better though.
