You've put a lot of work into this. As someone who spends a lot of time pulling his hair out over stale manual pages, these two scare me. I honestly think that it's a bad idea to import these two. They basically just duplicate the commentary in the files they document, and I don't think it's too much to ask for folks to read the files themselves. It's great that you're getting stuck in and contributing, but I think that these two aren't a good idea. :-( Ciao, Sheldon.
