The Language Manual 1. Introduction has a section on the grammar 
notation conventions.  The Library Manual 1. Introduction does not.  I 
would agree that it should.  Someone could open an issue.

Ivan, the help(ob) results sometimes assume that you have read the doc 
and only need a reminder about the function signature.  I strongly 
recommend that you read most of the first 5 chapter of the Library 
manual, especially 2 and 4.
