Standard hearders documentation for users may include:
1) Describe all valid signatures declared there
2) List all valid class declarations -- or perhaps definitions but,
please nothing about private declarations.
3) Nothing about the real file name -- the standard name should
suffice (e.g. <iostream>)
4) No reference to internal files.
Documentation for developers may include
+ internal files organization
+ shadowing C hearders
+ reasons for diverging from the standard requirements, if any.
Is that sensible?
Thanks,
