That's what chapters are for. Granted, programming is a different type of
critter in that what you do to solve one set of problems may employ
identical code to solve another distant and completely different problem.
However, I don't see a way around that other than writing redundant
explanations.

One can try to isolate various common problems and thereby provide
solutions for these specific needs via example. But, the possibilities
provided by the robust nature of the language prohibits providing examples
of every possibility.

This is similar to common written language. We have a set of alpha
characters that can be combined to make words; and those words to make
sentences; and those sentences to make paragraphs; and those paragraphs to
make the entire Library of Congress.  And, still we haven't provided all
the examples that can be.
