Properly documentation is about APIs not ABIs, though the exported
functions outside the reserved namespace are a reasonable start (and
scripts/documented.sh - rather out of date - appears to work based on
exported functions).
(For testing, as previously discussed - see link from wiki todo list to
list of untested functions - we do want testcases to cover all the
non-compat ABIs, as well as all the APIs.)
For both documentation and testing we really need to attract people to
adding tests / documentation of functions that aren't covered, bit by bit,
so gradually the large backlog goes down.
