Then there are those who argue that skimming around an ASCII file with
your favourite (and therefore very familiar) text editor is the WtUM
It's what I usually do (not with Exim - I have paper that I scribble
corrections on - but for other stuff).
And there are those who argue that Texinfo is the WtUM.
I have no problem in there being different info provided for all these
different people, but I have time to maintain only one definitive
reference manual. (One day I might write an expository book, but that's
a different matter.)
