Understood.  I similarly held back on documenting my "CHECKSTYLE" man(7)
feature until I eventually decided I had no coherent plan for going
forward with it, and documented it (for 1.24) mainly as "details subject
to change" so people would get _some_ benefit from it.

You have a much better considered plan for "pdf: import".

I look forward to its continued development, and to boasting of the cool
stuff it will do!
