What is the best way to fill in those missing details?

Given that this review has a short time duration, I wouldn't be able to 
add required specifications to each algorithms in the library.

What I can do is to write a small chaper in the docs, which explains used
concepts. Given the fact that most of algorithms in the library comes in
the same three variants, defininy the requirement for these three variants
should be sufficient for the overal picture.

Second possibility is to answer your questions here on the list. I have 
tried to do it already (maybe not 100% sucessfuly).
