Any API reference, even an up to date one, is intrinsically a specific
and narrow view at a library
features and as such it is not a reliable source of information about
architecture, behaviour,
caveates and corner cases of a complex system like GDAL.

It's not uncommon Python-oriented developers skip the *core* docs thinking
"that is for the C/C++ camp folks" and relying on the Python API reference.
It's a mistake.
