IMO it's free and top that should be documented (or fixed), since they
are the ones that provide useless free memory measurements.

When I'm asking about free memory, what I really want to know is: "If
a user-space program wants more memory, how much can it get?".

That's what htop answers.

The values reported by top / free might be useful for kernel hackers
doing some kind of VM system tuning, but for most people those tools
are useless for measuring free memory.
