Yeah, that may be a good start :)

I'm still far from pushing anything like that, so expect a lot of typos. 
  How about the layout and contents of the page?  Do you like them? 
Also I considered adding documentation about the related types in the 
same page, since this is one of those where the header is really small, 
and the types don't leak out of them, so we can have a true manual page 
(even if somewhat big, since those functions are a hell to understand, 
and therefore document).

Cheers,

Alex
