I've seen those patches going by. The problem is that documenting
existing, in-mainline APIs is challenging enough; trying to document
maybe-next-release versions is a recipe for frustration. So I'd really
rather start with a document that describes the current state of the
art; I promise I'll update it when the other changes go in.

Sound reasonable?

Thanks,

jon
