[I can't find the Cameron mask I had printed up at the costume store,
so you'll just have to imagine I'm saying this as him ...]

Documentation!

[back to being Matt]

I know you've got a nice notebook illustrating all of these changes --
is that just about ready to put in?  If so, in the very near future
since I think we have a quorum I'll copy the current docs into the
3.0/unitrefactor bookmark and merge that in, and you can put it in
there.  I'll add documentation for how to add a new frontend.

One thing that constantly surprises me with all of this unit work is
how much code we get to delete from the frontends.
