I disagree. Max documented his StatusBar methods and its been handy.
And never actually out of date. Its obviously dangerous to change the
behavior of a method enough that it'd need new documentation, so I
think it naturally does not happen often.
And we shouldn't see documentation as something for new devs, but for
each other and for ourselves in a few months when we've forgotten what
we've done.
