Thank you for the quick reply and thank you for bringing up the lack of
documentation.

I'm sorry for using your time in such a bad way. Consider asking for
feedback earlier next time.

In all my work, I happen to not have run into this, but I really should.
Thank you for pointing it out. Failing to update it is an obvious

Please let me know if you miss anything else.
