Hmm... I initially had all the comments in the source files.  But while
writing the manual page, I removed them from there to avoid redundancy.
The comments left in the code are those that do not fit the manual page.
Sure, we can do both, but that means duplicates :-/

Maybe the manual page currently has too many details (like describing
each field of each structure), but if this information is not there, it is
difficult to explain general concepts.
