What would be sweet is a self-contained HOWTO sort of doc that walks you 
through the
entire subject with real world examples of solutions for real 
situations.  IOW, instead of
focusing on a command, it would focus on the goal: "Say you want your 
functions to
load faster.  Up till now you've been sourcing them at startup, which is 
fine, but
you can do much better ...."  ... 20 minutes latter you are cooking.
