Undocumented 3.0 Features
Ersek_T...@mr.nawcad.navy.mil
A list of undocumented 3.0 Kernel commands is shown below. If you want
to understand what they do you can read the usage message. For
example:
In[2]:=
?ArgumentCountQ
"ArgumentCountQ[head,len,min,max] tests whether the number len of
arguments of a function head is between min and max."

Mathematica Book (3rd ed).
Besides that they are only documented via a Usage message.

: A list of undocumented 3.0 Kernel commands is shown below.
What did you do to discover that list of undocumented kernel commands?
(Bribe a kernel developer?)
Is there any official statement anywhere abou whether it's "safe" to use
such undocumented commands, that is, whether they might well disappear
or change in future versions?
