Oh please, don't try to nail me down on a single word.
If it's better, read it as: "And the lame excuse 'my code is my
documentation' simply cannot apply anymore to today's projects"

That's bad practice. Even for a simple extension you can spend the time 
to write some simple documentation. It'll save you a lot of time later 
when you don't have to explain it to anybody else or when you don't 
remember all the extra TS settings you added to your extension.

We're talking about something that's being developed for 3-4 years now. 
It may be dirty (I sure hope it isn't), but quick? ;-)
