So would I. But far too often, in code of all kinds, this documentation doesn't exist. As an investor I would far rather have my coders reverse engineer the code and make it work, than be faced with no information, and have code doomed to be thrown away. > 2 - If I read the source, I can't determine which functions are stable > and intended to be used by applications and which are internal and > subject to change or deletion with every release. This is only a problem if the developers of the library haven't packaged their library properly, something that one doesn't expect to still see in 2009.
