After all, how useful would any of these nice new features be, without documentation and examples to show us how to use them??
Let me be the first to say that I'm personally very grateful for RhoSigma's hard work on the wiki and keeping it up and going, and integrating it into the IDE for quick Help for us! 
RhoSigma -- YOU'RE A HERO, EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET HALF THE CREDIT YOU SHOULD MOST OF THE TIME!!
