Hey,

That's an important point, thank you. I definitely have had the experience of wondering, "Is this something LaTeX provides, or is it from Memoir?" I guess I should also have been asking myself what comes from LaTeX and what is already part of TeX.

Your Rails analogy is apt, I definitely remember being a Rails n00b and not knowing what was part of Ruby's standard library and what was provided by ActiveSupport.

Cheers, Alex
