Is this "way" documented anywhere outside the source? 

There's a gap between the man page and the wiki that's a problem.  The man
page is very hieratic.  It assumes that the reader already knows the context
for all the primitives. The wiki talks a lot about edge cases and extensions.

What's missing, I think, is worked examples of complex features like this one.
