I don't think that is a problem with the design of the libraries. It is a problem with the documentation. Almost all library documentation could be written so that any user could easily use the library in a simple, practical, straightforward way. I am not saying that it would be easy, but it could be done. Nowadays, that type of documentation is taken for granted for every popular programming language. -Yitz
