I guess I didn't make my point very well :-) I haven't even looked at
the code, so I'll take your word for the fact that it's readable without
extra documentation.

My point was that if you add a feature "X" and you add documentation
for "X", both should be in a single patch so the logically related things
are all in one commit.
