Hey Stephen,
I know this is committed already (great work!), but perhaps you might be
interested in some doc criticism:

This and other instances of the first person in the manual are I think
out of place. Besides that, the "usually" is imprecise. Probably the
right solution is to replace the last sentence with "don't use this
argument" or the like. There are a couple of other instances of this:

etc.
Anyway, comments for if you feel motivated ;)
