I can assure you that there are many thinks tex cannot do. You would be
surprised to see how much time is spent on programming things that seem
simple. Did you know that tex cannot do double columns? You can fake them,
which is what happens. There are also things tex can do that people think
tex cannot do. The metafun manual I'm working on shows some.
