That's certainly the easy way out.  As I said earlier, and in spite of 
what actually happened, the original goal was to avoid having long lists 
of docstrings.  So if that's what is there now, the real problem is that 
we are missing the supporting text that describes the features and 
provides motivation for the set of functions that are grouped together 
in a particular section of the manual.
