Makes sense. I think your last point is why these are the harder functions to document, for me. Often they really are self evident either from their name or with their use. Trying to document them all "appropriately" often leads to more documentation than code. With neither really providing value to the other.

And, ultimately, this is why I do a "this is the boring stuff" sections. Bugs in that area should be easy and obvious to both diagnose and to fix. Bugs in the other areas are often neither.
