You mean an ordered dictionary, right?
He meant the ones with actual paper pages.
But given that we are particularly talking about how to handle
undocumented APIs, a more apropos comparison would be to ask how
dictionary readers are supposed to look up words that aren't in the
dictionary...
No, this isn't an appropriate comparison. The dictionary was an example
of something that presents information but is very hard to use without
knowing the rules.
We're not talking about undocumented APIs. We're talking about APIs
that are documented somewhere other than in the library manual.
