Ok. My confusion was because I was basically planning to dump the informal
ones. I don't think "informal" helps anybody. It's too detailed for people
not capable of handling formalism, and too loose for precision if you're
like me and don't use abstracted descriptions.

We need how-to topics, but at a higher level than the current stuff.
