Frankly this was my opinion when we originally decided to use it, I
also had the casting vote though!

The C= manuals ain't great, but they're a start; I'm going to try & get
permission to distribute the documentation I have written; in the past
it was supposed to go into a future product, but at the mo' we're way
too busy. If I do (and frankly I expect I will get permission) I'll go
ahead & post it here (tis pretty long though).
