I started rewriting the documentation according to your proposal of having
parameters with name, then referred to as NAME in the docs.

After a few examples, I must admit I do not like that style,
so I would just want to do the minimal part that would get this patch landed,
i.e.
(a) convince you that the patch is good as-is or
(b) resend with fewer parameters made explicit if
    we desire to be concise instead.

Cool!

sb/more-repo-in-api is not part of this message,
but it requires at least one resend, so I'll do that.

This is the first time I hear about that, I'll look into that.
The tipmost commit there is also shoddy, I'll redo that.
