I'm not angry at all :)  Just somewhat frustrated with the state of
documentation on this particular (very useful!) API.  It's not _your_ fault

which has similar functionality and for which the documentation may be
better.

Perhaps, since you're bi-lingual, you could translate the document.  I'd be
happy to work on your translation and polish up the English in it.  I've
been doing tech writing informally for 20 years or more.
