these should be easy to circumvent, so i think i will keep going as i 
was before, only the pdata stuff might make a big difference
if you change it drastically i think.

I wasnt really planning to do it just now, i think that hands on is 
better to learn and not having to leave fluxus to learn its
functions/commands is the way to go imho, i thinked about making a 
fluxus help that would list all the "modules"
like on the repl you type:
(help "fluxus")
then it would say whats fluxus about and in the examples section it 
would list all the modules.
eg:
Maths
Utils
Primitives...

then you could call:
(help "Maths")
then it would give what math is and list its functions/commands as 
before, this way you could navigate trough all the docs inside fluxus 
and have
a easy guideline.

What do you think about this way?

ok, good luck, if you ever come to it.
