I tried following the logic of the code here (and read the doc strings a
bunch of times), and I'm still confused as to why it's implemented the
way it is -- it seems pretty convoluted.
But we probably can't change the implementation here (without obsoleting
the variables and starting from scratch), so I think we should just
attempt to document what it's actually doing, as difficult as even that
is. :-/
