That same file in the manual.  But rather than just editing comments 
referring to details of the implementation, you need to write non-comment 
text explaining at the user API level, without reference to implementation 
internals, what API guarantees are provided in this regard.  The text 
should be sufficient for users to understand what uses they can make of 
the API without needing to refer to implementation sources.
