I agree with Greg here, it's a well known "don't". What should be 
documented is (maybe it is?) how pipelines are implemented in general, 
the behaviour of read is just a plain consequence of that.

Infact I mean that reading a reference manual doesn't avoid learning a 
language and its behaviours.
