OT:

Milan, there's a warning at the top of that page to the effect that the
FAQ is no longer maintained and no material should be added to it. I
personally consider this a big mistake as in my view a FAQ and a
reference manual are two different things, plus the FAQ is much more
convenient as a reference point for specific issues, but that's how
things currently stand.
