Well, that is something, I can agree with.

*IF* a definition is supplied (with FPC/Lazarus), and in the light that 
the users come with all levels of experience, then it would be nice, if 
(in addition) an explanation would be given, rather than just a short 
abstract form.

In this case your wording may be misleading " just about what (new) 
definitions ". There would be no new definition, only an explanation, of 
the existing definition.
