> A lot of hardcore Lisp aficionados do the equivalent of a mathematician writing a "sketch of a proof" and saying "left as an exercise", without ever writing the details of the proof. It's occasionally aggravating when you pull in a library and discover that this is the case.
That's exactly "too powerful for its own good". It's so easy to write a half-assed sketch of a library that nevertheless gives you some new powerful feature, that some people end there, and publish the sketch that was enough for their use case.
