I don't do this a lot, so the Guide wasn't updated in this regard when I've done a major update months(years?) ago.

You seem to have much more knowledge than me about this. Table 6.3 seems to be missing this topic and also some examples of other types.

Could you write some text about this, so I can add it to the Guide? Or point me to the manpage about the exact things missing.

When I would try to do this, this would probably end up in a lot of errors.
