 =head1 NAME
 
-less - perl pragma to request less of something from the compiler
+less - perl pragma to request less of something
 
 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 
-    use less;  # unimplemented
+    use less 'CPU';
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-Currently unimplemented, this may someday be a compiler directive
-to make certain trade-offs, such as perhaps
+This is a user-pragma. If you're very lucky some code you're using
+will know that you asked for less CPU usage or ram or fat or... we
+just can't know. Consult your documentation on everything you're
+currently using.
+
+For general suggestions, try requesting C<CPU> or C<memory>.
 
     use less 'memory';
     use less 'CPU';
     use less 'fat';
 
+If you ask for nothing in particular, you'll be asking for C<less
+'please'>.
+
+    use less 'please';
+
+=head1 FOR MODULE AUTHORS
+
+L<less> has been in the core as a "joke" module for ages now and it
+hasn't had any real way to communicating any information to
+anything. Thanks to Nicholas Clark we have user pragmas (see
+L<perlpragma>) and now C<less> can do something.
+
+You can probably expect your users to be able to guess that they can
+request less CPU or memory or just "less" overall.
+
+If the user didn't specify anything, it's interpreted as having used
+the C<please> tag. It's up to you to make this useful.
+
+  # equivalent
+  use less;
+  use less 'please';
+
+=head2 C<< BOOLEAN = less->of( FEATURE ) >>
+
+The class method C<< less->of( NAME ) >> returns a boolean to tell you
+whether your user requested less of something.
+
+  if ( less->of( 'CPU' ) ) {
+      ...
+  }
+  elsif ( less->of( 'memory' ) ) {
+
+  }
+
+=head2 C<< FEATURES = less->of() >>
+
+If you don't ask for any feature, you get the list of features that
+the user requested you to be nice to. This has the nice side effect
+that if you don't respect anything in particular then you can just ask
+for it and use it like a boolean.
+
+  if ( less->of ) {
+      ...
+  }
+  else {
+      ...
+  }
+

+At least it's backwards compatible in not doing much.
