Patches are, of course, welcome. So if you find something like "message
is undocumented" you can always add:

It is difficult for people who have been using a system for a long time
to realize where things like documentation have wholes because we
automatically fill them in. (I *never* use the reference documentation,
because I remember enough that just reading docstrings is enough for me.
I'm happy to approve patches to improve the reference documentation,
however.)
