I like this and I do think we need to improve the bitbake documentation.
We do need to ensure there is some consistent style and format for the
documents though so anything going into the repository really needs to
be added to the existing manual.

I'm also a little concerned that in its current form (listing arguments
to functions), this documentation would be high maintenance. If we could
separate it from the code implementation details a little bit, I think
it would make it less likely to bitrot quite as quickly.

Cheers,
