This is the first document.  It's an itch that needs to be scratched.
Other likely documents include the long-sought Fireengine detailed
design, and perhaps one about sockfs.  Heck, there even could be an
iphooks user document here.

I doubt there is demand for just one document; it's likely many more.
That's why this is chartered as a project with a repository: it gives
us a stable place to put these documents.

For what it's worth, it's modeled after the existing SMF documentation
project: for exactly the same reasons.

It sounds like you're saying that we aren't allowed to get started on
our long-awaited detailed documentation simply because we're not
proposing to document the world from the get-go.

I'd rather see us start _somewhere_ useful than sit on our hands
waiting for a high level description of the possible things we might
do in the future.
