That makes sense. I would personally get very mad if I wasted an hour
because of incorrect documentation.

As I said, they're just skeleton files, no "new" documentation per-say.

Hmm... that's interesting. I actually had to add a few new protos and
fix a few incorrect summaries when I ran the script. I'll probably have
to deal with them when I comb through each function and add detailed
documentation, so it would be helpful if I knew about it now.

Will do. The skeleton script automatically duplicates it, but I
definitely see how this is not the best behavior.
