Yes, otoh it's a big pain in the neck to keep the docs split into 
smaller patches interleaved with the code, at least while the code is 
still in a flux.

And since the docs refer to the sources, for the automated documentation 
of the API, I cannot just put the documentation at the beginning of the 
patchset.

Can I keep the docs as they are, for now, till the code is more stable?
