That is, because the application +programmer is likely to use only a number of the Intrinsics functions in writing an application and +because the widget programmer is likely to use many more, if not all, of the Intrinsics functions +in building a widget, an attempt has been made to highlight those areas of information that are +deemed to be of special interest for the application programmer.
