That could work too, I suppose. Assuming the users read it first.

I think we should definitely add a description of the purpose of each
of the share files to its header. I'd be even happier if, in addition,
we make it a policy to write documentation for all the share packages
before the 6.0 release, but that's another discussion.
That reminds me - did that guy who volunteered to translate the French
share package documentation ever take a crack at it?
