Well, that's why it's difficult. I didn't say it was easy. I said you should 
do it. :-)  Think about how you use it, write up a paragraph of why you'd 
use each item. Don't write it up in terms of what it does. Write it up in 
terms of why you would want to use it.  It's not "something that has a map". 
It's "something you can use when you want to .... what?"  And it doesn't 
have to be precise. It has to be simple enough that someone will look at it, 
then once they're comfortable with it, they say "Hey, I could do this a lot 
easier with Functor" or something.

    from a company that doesn't hate Microsoft.
