Note that this is an obsolete FAQ page, but 1) the answer is still
valid, and 2) despite the comment at the start of the page I don't
believe this information was merged into the new docs. It certainly
isn't obvious from the section headings.

Sometimes a nicely structured document is *not* what the user needs.
That's what a FAQ is for. I don't understand why someone thought it was
a good idea to get rid of the FAQ.
