I'm quite sure you can also describe the fine details of the
implementation, as long as you don't describe that by posting the
actual code.

AFAIU, copyright protects only the form, not the ideas.  Ideas can be
described and discussed at any level of detail, because implementation
of those same ideas by another person will never, except by improbable
accident, be so close to the original as to be suspected of copying.
