Documentation desperately needs to be considered, but it won't likely 
receive a priority so long as it is not funded by someone.

Documentating isn't as fun as coding. The same holds true for debugging 
and testing; they just aren't very sexy in comparison to forging new code.

Some people recognize this; one of my primary clients is paying me to 
document a free software project's algorithms and design. That project, 
however, is not GCC. Perhaps someone *is* being funded to write GCC 
documentation; I don't know who they are, though, or what their mandate 
might be.
