yes, "marketing" is probably a huge reason. At the time I wrote it, I
didn't know how to work on the tla docs (if you want the honest truth, I
still don't).

It'll take me all of 15 minutes to write some good inline docs for grab.
I'll do so as soon as I have free time.

Yes, its supposed to be, but that might be the part thats broken.
