  12                 <p>This part of the documentation is a somewhat arbitrary description of the core types in the language a user should be aware of.  The reason for having such a sloppy characterization of what is presented here, is that as long as <str-Shapes /> is dynamically typed, it is not <em>that</em> important to know exactly what type an object has.  It also becomes a rather arbitrary language design decision when the language should reflect a subdivision into subtypes in the compiler.  For instance, the language end type <named-type name="Drawable" /> has certainly many different types representing it in the compiler.</p>
  13                 <p>Below, an alphabetical list of links to bindings is provided.  For a grouping of the bindings by cathegory, the readers is referred to the the chapter on system bindings in the main language reference.</p>
