Note that we're not losing the information on branching, just moving it to a
more detailed section on a different page.  We could bring back the 'quick
hint' information though.

Agreed about classic vs. udd, but that's for another branch. :)

I've noticed the same thing myself.  u-d-t really should get better

the tools (and why you'd want to use them) here.  It would be the one place
where an overview would be available.
