The only problem I see with this is that people who are trying to learn Pawn, especially on these forums, are only going to associate it with SA:MP. When they see functions from the libraries they see there, and try to use them with failure in the SA:MP scripts, they will become confused. Also the syntax displayed can, at times, be different then that followed in normal scripts here, which causes more room for confusion.

If you are only interested in understanding the basics of the Pawn language for SA:MP purposes, I would suggest downloading and trying to comprehend small scripts (the ones provided in the server download package are great). Read them line-by-line trying to understand what it is doing. You can visit the SA:MP Wiki to browse through functions, callbacks, directives and other random things you may encounter and don't understand while searching through the script. It is a great source, I suggest you use it whenever you don't understand something.

Here are a few wiki links that cover some basics:
