Perhaps this is all only because you are more familar with overload already? I know that when I read the documentation for overload the first few times it was worthless to me until i found a complete example. If such a complete example where found in the documentation then I know my life would have been made easier. I'm particularly confounded by modules that have code in their synopsis that can't be used as is. If i have to read the code, read the documentation and then figure out how to modify the code to get a basic sample working , then I'm far less likely to succeed in using such a module. Modules that give good self documenting examples somewhere in the documentation are much much easier to pick up and start learning. Perhaps its just a difference in learning technique, but i like to start with working code that i can futz with, not futz just to get working code.
It probably would be better to leave any extra modules out of the example though.
