:Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA,
I consider anything that takes me more then 10 minutes to figure out
to be a documentation issue. Since there is no reason to intentionally
make things more difficult for developers, I try to document those cases
after I've figured out how to use them.
A major goal of the project is to make things as easy as possible for
developers and users. I do not see it written anywhere that we should
only document the lowest-common-denominator set of things we think
user will use. I see no reason to intentionally obscure this feature
especially if we want to promote non-i386 architectures.
