Thanks. But then the function actually *is* implemented, saying 'not
implemented' is misleading. Please change the xml to something like 'isn't
correctly implemented', or more informally, 'needs work', up to you, but
please adjust it.
Committed.
Thanks.

I learn that an implementation could be incorrect ;)
You see, at variance with natural languages, for an artificial language like C++ it's easy to distinguish practical instances of unimplemented and very badly implemented: in the former case the function doesn't have a definition, or, even more clearly, doesn't even have a declaration. transform_primary can't be unimplemented ;)
