As far as I know, the current groupBy docs explain quite
clearly what it
does. If you find it still inadequate or unclear, please file
bug against it so that we can look into improving the docs.
Read the docs now - they are perfect within the context of the
style of documentation (and these documents themselves have
certainly been improved over the past months).
It is very clear to me, but I am not sure it would be to everyone
I work with. The formal library description may not be the place
for this, but I do think many less sophisticated readers would
find the style below more accessible and easier to follow (this
is not about groupBy, but a broader question of documentation to
supplement the formal reference description for the standard
library):

I appreciate that it is all very well to suggest improvements but
someone actually has to do the work. Recognizing the direction
of what might be helpful is perhaps a start though. I might be
on my own with this view, but I don't think I am.
