However, I still think a doc string of over 280 lines is excessive and wonder if part of the reason people have trouble understanding it is that there are conflicting objectives in the string. On one hand, trying to be very concise and on the other, trying to explain something potentially complex.
It wants to look complex, written with lot of redundancy for people who can't understand concepts, and with lots of 'cons' and 'car' for people who can't read lisp. The message between the lines is clearly: "You don't want to use this if you know what you're doing." --- grischka
