xcconfig Layers: Not as complicated as documentation makes it look?

After reading the documentation regarding xcconfig files [1], I wrote this comment:

*******

The bottom half of this document, the section "Build Setting Evaluation and Configuration Files", I believe, makes things way more complicated than they are. After re-reading it, it seems to me that all those 800+ words and two figures could be replaced with two sentences:

"When a Project and/or Target Build Configuration is Based On an xcconfig file, the Target and/or Project's Multilayer Build Settings [insert href] layers get split into two sublayers. The top (dominant) sublayer of each sublayer is the settings in the Info panel, and beneath this is the sublayer of settings from the xcconfig file."

And also the reference to the CAPTION layer in the last paragraph looks like mis-copy/paste since it appears out of nowhere.

******

But I'm a little worried that maybe I missed the boat entirely.

If no one replies to this post, I'll submit the above as Document Feedback.

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
