It'll be a major undertaking to provide a comprehensive debugging guide.
 I'd like to provide some pointers for the sorts of things that
generally crop up due to user error, and not (necessarily) logic errors.

Syntax mistakes can be a bear for a frustrated newbie to chase down; but
if we can give them a few pointers for the kinds of things the error
messages generally mean, they might better help themselves.
