    Have you seen tools/memory-model/Documentation/explanation.txt? That
    file was specifically written for non-experts to help them overcome the
    learning curve. It tries to define the vocabulary as terms are
    introduced and to avoid using obscure syntax.

    If you think it needs improvement and can give some specific details
    about where it falls short, I would like to hear them.
