[chuck] Langage syntax

[Philip Davidson]

Please post your questions / problem code here or to the wiki - We can 
look
at what problems exist ( either in language or in documentation ) to
make these issues clearer for all involved.

We do have a serious documentation revision planned once the current 
development
cycle lets up, at the moment we are just keeping things in sync with 
language features.
