Note that documentation.conf is not intended for notes like this. There are 
far too many caveats to using our variables than can be reasonably covered by 
the short descriptions that go into this file - we have a reference manual with 
a detailed variable glossary for that sort of thing. We need to update the 
manual instead.

Cheers,
Paul
