This is probably Microsoft's way, not FreeBSD's. I work with FreeBSD for 3+ years, and contribute to it for free... I just complained why David didn't document this feature when it was committed. Unfortunately, there was no response from him. Probably, he's very busy now. So, I ask _you_ to document this feature for others... not for me. I already understand how it does work. When someone introduces a new feature, how others will know about it? Without documenting it, the only way for them is to read the commitlogs or wait until someone tells them about this feature.
