Right, I read those. But it's a little ... sparse? I mean, yeah, I worked out how to call it, but some of the details are a little vague. And I did read the release notes that mentioned this function so I understand why it was put into place ... and that I'm abusing it.
If you find any documentation wanting in detail, please file a radar. There are limits to what we can cram into HeaderDoc, which is the only documentation I contribute directly to, but I spent the first half of my career as a technical writer so I take documentation very seriously and want to make sure it covers the bases. Any question you have that the doc doesn't address is a failure that needs to be corrected. You shouldn't have to experiment with our APIs to figure out how to use them.
