As a lisp novice, I found this to be a principal challenge. Most of the docs I find will have either function signatures or examples, but the examples rarely cover the bases. I think it's pretty common for dynamically typed languages to have very hand-wavy documentation, but lisp is big on the arcane and powerful. I'd often find answers to my questions in the entirely wrong places, e.g. pearls of wisdom tucked in an example that I stumbled across looking for something entirely different.
