As to what is reasonable,  my starting benchmark would be how many
programmers have ever read a language specification of any sort.

I would factor into the equation the fact that there are often several
layers of online tutorial, textbook, programmers refernce/nutshell
books separating the programmer from the programming specification and
wonder how many of those would include this sort of factlet.
