A 'hint'?

1. Chosen by whom and through what process?
    Note that that makes it additional work and potentially another
    source of controversy.

2. It will be taken as normative
    Because that's what people do when they see entries like this, in
    places like this.

3. It is an attempt to make a 'registry' be a kind of partial tutorial.
    To do a useful job takes surrounding text.  Typically quite a bit.
