I'm afraid decent documentation depends on the
environment/namespace/goops work. First, because these make
things a lot more easier to understand. Second, because if
documentation is written for the current state of Guile,
when/if Guile changes in regard to this, a lot of documentation
will have to be rewritten. That would be a waste.
