Warning: The code for core2 is still under construction, so the information on this page may become outdated without warning.
Note: Obligatory disclaimer about this document being in-process.
Cleanup: This page needs to be split into multiple pages and the function text needs to be reformatted so it is not all in pre format. Please refer to the Wiki Style Guide and Manual of Style pages.
