These docs do not exist yet. We all have 24 hours per day exactly, you
know :)

No it is *not* users guide. It is reference manual. If you want user's
guide, fine, but it's not the same as reference manual. And they should be
different, because they serve different purpose. In this case, we need two
documents, and making existing reference manual into user's guide only to
struggle afterwards to get reference manual back would be a clean waste of
time and effort.
