No argument here, I very much understand why as a user or potential
contributor one would want to-the-point documentation as a first step.
I also want to be able to understand what I’m doing though—maybe not at
first, but soon enough. That’s why I don’t feel comfortable giving a
raw list of commands without explanations.
But maybe we can have both, with cross references.
Thoughts?
