In my humble opinion, it is incumbent upon those who add new features to
provide documentation for them. I was happy to help here, since I needed to
know how these worked myself (and since I'm fluent in C). As Andreas pointed
out, it's easy to grep the source code to find the external command names, but
that is only the beginning in figuring out how the commands actually work.
