I have. I don't mean to make any suggestions about writing you
have been planning to do; I am only stating what kind of
information I'm looking for.

It's hard to understand how you can think that, given that I have
explicitly asked for some sort of language reference. Ideally that
would be a complete and comprehensive document: not too long, and
not aimed at beginners, but simply giving a concise but complete
description of the language. In other words a single document that
I can just sit down and read, without having to read anything else,
after which I would know everything about what language is defined.
