Hi,

This is a common complaint, however it is very rare that we get specific
comments or even better -- documentation patches!

Indeed, saying "it doesn't work -- the documentation sucks" doesn't help
us fix the problem at all.

I can't think of any time where we've turned away correct and decently
written documenation suggestions.  In fact, generally a small patch to the
documentation will cause us to write expansions on that patch ourselves.
