Some index entry should be here.
Also, I'm not sure this should be a top-level @section (but if it is,
I believe you will have to add it to the top-level menu as well). How
about making it a subsection of "Running"?

This text falls short of explaining why these features are useful.
Can we add something to explain this better?

If the default is off, then perhaps we should tell when would the user
want them on. But maybe if you add explanation I asked for above,
they will clarify this as well.
Thanks.
