In my humble opinion, it is incumbent upon those who add new features to 
provide documentation for them.  I was happy to help here, since I needed to 
know how these worked myself (and since I'm fluent in C).  As Andreas pointed 
out, it's easy to grep the source code to find the external command names, but 
that is only the beginning in figuring out how the commands actually work.
