Yes. Info | Internals. Not everything is documented there (very
lowlevel display stuff, much of MULE, etc lacks useful documentation),
but most of the stuff you want to know is.
oh yeah, why didn't i look there at the first time?
my mistake. thanx, it looks pretty much like what i want, i'll read
through it and complain later ;)

Yes. But they were wrong. (And their patches were rejected.)
well, seen the amount of code, i can understand it takes time to digest
the project before even thinking about designing, let alone coding.
i must say the code _is_ structured and therefore i assume it is
organized, the only thing is that i am one who likes to write more
comments intern to functions than actual _code_, when i know someone
else will have to maintain it. i like to be able to read the coder's
mind when i read code :)
oh well, seems like this info section will get me started for good :)
thanx.
