I guess we were wondering how much detail people feel we should go in
to here. If it was just a Unix implementation, we could say things
like "see the chmod(2) man page", but that doesn't work
cross-platform. So, do people feel we need to lay out every option for 
every implementation, or do you think that users are smart enough to
extrapolate the small details?
