The entries in the "Small fix" category, even though they are small
(probably require a very small number of lines of code to change), most
of them require a quite high understanding of the code+concepts
involved.

The explanation for "Simple Tasks" states that they "don't require much
emacs knowledge".

If you think anything here is unclear, please propose a better
wording. I don't want this to degenerate in a long long thread on
semantic differences.
