I just fixed a couple of errors in the User Guide.  There are likely
lots more and some whole sections that need to be rewritten. 
Patches are most welcome.

One thing we might want to consider is creating separate test
packages for the User Guide examples.  While this was not
consistently done, we used to lift user guide examples from the unit
tests, which made sure the examples actually worked.  The problem
with that approach is that there is nothing to guarantee that when
the unit test gets updated to reflect updates / better practices,
the same thing happens in the corresponding User Guide example.  It
would be more likely for this to happen if we either annotated the
test cases including guide examples somehow or separated them into a
"userguide" test package.  We could do this incrementally, by
top-level package for example, as we validate and update the guide. 
What do you think?
