Looks like you invested a lot of effort into the answer.  I'm wonderin 
if the return on your investment wouldn't have been better had you 
enhanced the documentation with it then just responded with a pointer to 
the new documentation.

My personal view is that the main obstacle to many libraries passing 
review is that the sparse documentation makes them hard to understand 
and review.
