Once again, this is a followup on a IRC discussion and attempt at helping a begginner.
I am having a very hard time pointing somebody to the right place for reading about use of the dot notation in a query selector context. IIRC it was covered in the old "getting started" page which i am unable to find now.
On a more general note, I think "hiding" the regular find() operator in CRUD/read is counter productive, even if it is somehow logical. I would personally make use of the regular find() a top level "regular read" subject, and make the rest of CRUD a top level "write ops" topic at the same level.
My memory of learning SQL — back last millenary — was about focusing on building increasingly complex select operations before starting with update and insert.
