This can help you when you will generate all
  the options. It can also help you when analyzing
  whether your options are right, or (for example)
  when looking where are all the places some
  language construct can be used in.
Enable java script for the page and try to click
  on all the places where you see "hand" cursor:

The page above is the one I used when learning
  Haskell.
I'm curious whether you can fit it on one A4 page.
  Probably depends on font size :)
