The OP was looking for a quick lookup programmers guide to common elisp
constructs. The elisp manual is not really quite so convenient : good
though it can be.

People frequently want to modify an existing feature without learning
the entire emacs infrastructure.

Pointing to existing code is one such way to help. Suggesting he parse
it all with perl probably not quite so helpful ..

Personally whenever I revisit elisp I find Xah Lee's tutorial helpful at
times.
