Hi Charles:

The same thing happened to me. In particular bool_switch was very useful,
but the explanations of how to use it are absent from the documentation.
It looks like the project is badly supported by its owner at the moment.
One could write detailed best practices section. I could think of starting
it, but also have no time currently.

Thanks,
Dmitriy.
