IMHO, the 10 minute rule of thumb is a good one.  There is no reason
why there can't be far more detailed and correct documentation also,
but if I want (to avoid inventing an example :) a regex library, then
I want to be able to use the basics quickly.  Obviously, not every
library will work with just 10 minutes effort, but the more that do
the better.

Cheers
