This sounds like a pretty horrid idea.  The tutorial is meant to be read
first, so it cannot depend on having already read any of the main
documentation.  If we try to fill it with "hints and tricks" then either
it will be completely unintelligible to newbies, or there will be a
staggering amount of material duplicated from the main docs to support
the hints.  The latter approach would be no fun to write and even less
fun to maintain in the future.

There might well be a use for a separate hints-and-tricks document.
I don't agree with stuffing it into the existing tutorial though.
        regards, tom lane
