I wish he would have included a chapter on the condition system. I've had a hard time wrapping my head around it. Everyone says "It's great, but you have to see it in action."

Here is a "style guide" that's been missing. http://random-state.net/log/3453016738.html http://random-state.net/log/3453016738.html The condition system really does need a treatise on its own, specifically as a generic custom control-flow toolkit. There are hairy bits in the standard wrt to the debugger interface, but the above links clarifies many things.
