That's up to Fred to decide.  I suspect the answer is no, since it
would make the library reference too large and ungainly if every
section had a tutorial.  Regular expressions, socket programming, and
XML processing are all sizable topics in their own right that would be
covered.

I will re-raise the idea of adding the HOWTOs to the documentation
subtree, though; Fred & I have discussed it before, and decided not to
for reasons that I can't remember.

I'l mail it to you privately.

Probably a subsection, but again, Fred has final ruling on that.
