The last thing I want to read in a language's documentation is an
ill-informed and sometimes interminable argument about a particular feature.
For documentation I'm all in favor of user contributions, but I believe
an editorial process is required to ensure readability. I am aware that
the documentation isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and I don't think
throwing it open to anyone (including, by the way, web spammers) to add
to it is necessarily the best way to improve it.
