I agree with everything you have said but the library itself is gold.
One of my favourites for testing. However, I can never figure out
anything from the documentation and everything I know about it is from
spelunking the source code.
Is there some way we can get a student interested in technical writing
to rewrite the documentation? It would be good for their resume.
Thanks for bringing up this topic.
