Well, that's the challenge with documenting anything or communicating via text.
You'd be surprised by what can be misinterpreted or misunderstood.

I myself am not always sure what makes something seem confusing at first, but
then makes it 'click'.

I think sometimes it might be easier on you to just write a large POV file with
small illustrative examples of each directive, than to agonize over how best to
describe their usage - especially considering the many languages POV users
speak.

A small example might be worth a page and a half of documentation.
