@bbende agree with your points: we can keep things as-is for now and have a
larger effort for documentation with follow-up JIRAs.
@aperepel I *really* believe that online documentation provides a much
better exposure. A lot of people I discuss with completely ignore the existence
of the toolkit binaries. And we've a lot of interesting stuff in it.
I think that providing a mechanism with annotations in the code and
automatic generation of the documentation can answer both the online
documentation and the information in the command's output. That would be the
best approach IMO.
