already bitrotted?

It seems quite overcomplicated to me. Has the complexity been justified?

IMHO the user code still doesn't belong into Documentation.
Also it needs another review round I guess. And some beta testing by
more people.

IMHO this work has much potential so i hope the benchmarking-review process
