I think this is my biggest frustration with trying to learn WoW specific functionality of Lua. It requires far more digging than I'm used to. Between examples of functionality and documentation, I'm pretty good at playing around with it until it starts doing what I want it to do. And at that point it just clicks "Oh so that's how that works" sort of thing. It seems like when I want to learn how a specific function works, it just leads to another function that I need to figure out that is within it. Which leads to yet another 3 functions you need to figure out. And sometimes it seems like you never really find the bottom of the nesting pool.
