Indeed, writing documentation is hard.  The draft APIs here already have 
more documentation than most do, but "more" doesn't always mean 
"enough", and there's no "Java Concurrency in Practice, Vol 2" (yet) 
that you can go buy.  This is where getting feedback from users like 
yourself is critical; it will teach us what we have to add to save the 
later adopters from the potholes that the early adopters fell into.
