I tend to agree.  But the goal for now isn't to provide complete
documentation, it's just to briefly point out the existence of this tool
and what it does.

I haven't used it myself other than just to experiment a bit, but my
impression from the people involved is that they still consider it a bit
young, but that they think it's useful and that they'd benefit from more
people trying it out.
