Why wouldn't you try to look at the documentation of the
language---as you do with the documentation of a library?

I didn't say I wouldn't. I just said I'd be much more worried.
My point is, languages are never modular. To be even marginally
effective in a language, you must have some understanding of it all.
That definitely isn't the case for libraries.
Languages are modular when they let you define new syntax, but that's
another topic ;)
A topic at which no language succeeded.
