The _table(5) doc concisely covers all table syntax features.

The _README is a more verbose tutorial covering building the driver
and various use-cases and special considerations, leaving syntax
reference docs to the _table(5) document.

Thanks. I think the major hurdles have been mostly cleared. I would
encourage you to draft an initial _README that is similar in spirit
to those for PostgreSQL and/or LDAP.
After that, Wietse and I will have to find some time for code review.
This may take a bit of time, but should ideally happen in time for
3.8.0, and so naturally would need to be complete a few snapshots
earlier.
