Thank you Richard, coming from you I'll take that as high praise :-)

I used to have a quote (I think from the Tex manual by someone named Dick
Brandon if I'm not mistaken) on my desk which said something like:
"Documentation is like sex. When it is good, it is very very good. When it
is bad it is better than nothing" and use that as a justification for not
writing good (any) documentation.

But I've grown up now and know better that without good documentation, the
work is only half done, if that.

To give credit where credit is due, Willem wrote all the code and the
lion's share of the documentation.
