Ok,  I just checked in a draft of the new documentation.

libs/utility/in_place_factories.htm

This superseeds the documentation in Optional.

I hope you can make sense out of this stuff now.
I'll finish the new document and update the optional doc soon.

This stuff is supposed to be used by end users, so the new documentation
talks about it being on /utility instead of /detail as it is now.
It also uses the 'correct' class names.
However, I haven't move nor change the code yet as I'm not sure if today is
a good time for doing that (becaue of the branch for release)

Best,
