IME, every developer agrees with that, and no developer wants to write
it.  Even worse, when they do write it, the assumptions are often
wrong about what is clear/already known and what isn't.  So it's often
better when someone else does the documentation.  Which almost never
happens.  Add to that the fact that writing good documentation is a
skill by itself.

So, well, UTSL like everybody else :-)
