=head1 DESCRIPTION
-See F<ext/B/README>.
+This module is used by the B::CC back end. It walks "basic blocks".
+A basic block is a series of operations which is known to execute from
+start to finish, with no possiblity of branching or halting.
+
+It can be used either stand alone or from inside another program.
+
+=for _private
+Somebody who understands the stand-alone options document them, please.

+
+ my $leaders = find_leaders($root_op, $start_op);
+
+Given the root of the op tree and an op from which to start
+processing, it will return a hash ref representing all the ops which
+start a block.
+
+=for _private
+The above description may be somewhat wrong.
+
+The values of %$leaders are the op objects themselves. Keys are $$op
+addresses.
+
+=for _private
+Above cribbed from B::CC's comments. What's a $$op address?
