A good reference, to be sure, but man, do I resent the term “trick” in programming. It implies a deception, or something clever that you wouldn’t think to look for, like opening a wine bottle with a shoe. These aren’t tricks, they’re (largely) standard library features that you would simply expect to exist. But maybe I’m underestimating the NIH effect.
