      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;The inclusion of &lt;strong&gt;maptype&lt;/strong&gt; is curious.&amp;nbsp; Near as I can tell it is not used in any Maple library code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Learning about &lt;strong&gt;bind&lt;/strong&gt; won't be easy--it isn't documented. A loosely related and also undocumented procedure is &lt;strong&gt;_pexports&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;process&lt;/strong&gt; package is deprecated.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <title>And more</title>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;maptype should be used, it's a pity it's not. typematch is seriously under-used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;process is deprecated, as is nargs, args, etc.&amp;nbsp; There probably are some modern features of Maple which should be there as well (like of the funky options for map, evalf and whatnot).&amp;nbsp; The issue is that I have not personally done any serious Maple programming in a while, so I am up-to-date with Maple 11, but not as fluent in the more recent versions.&amp;nbsp; Definitely the Threads package should be added to that list above.&amp;nbsp; I am sure there is more.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <title>information in the errors</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/41935-Maple-401?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maple 401:Comments#comment89434</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/41935-Maple-401#comment89419"&gt;@Joe Riel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A method that I use to get some information about undocumented, builtin routines is producing errors. Moreover, I have found that error messages provide, sometimes, even better information than the documentation itself. In this case:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;bind(a=b);&lt;br&gt;Error, bindings of the form a=b only allowed in `use` statement&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;bind(a);&lt;br&gt;Error, `a` is not a module or member&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;bind(a,b);&lt;br&gt;Error, `a` is not a module or member&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;bind("a");&lt;br&gt;Error, no bindings were specified or implied&lt;br&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, the obsession for undocumentation is beyond my comprehension.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
