language lawyer n.
A person, usually an experienced or
senior software engineer, who is intimately familiar with many or
most of the numerous restrictions and features (both useful and

five sentences scattered through a 200-plus-page manual that
together imply the answer to your question "if only you had
thought to look there". Compare wizard, legal,
