[Matthew Rubenstein]

	Thank you for that summary. It's some of the best independent
documentation of an OSS product that I've ever seen, among the best code
docs period (in 30 years of reading others' code). If Asterisk included
such concise description of each step through scopes of the call graph
for every use case, its use would explode (even more than it's exploding
now), like Apache. I wish this were the default way to document the
system, and all OSS.
