Ah. Well, then a brief intro into how it is meant to work and what it is
meant to do would help a lot. I value very much the ability of all authors
to write self-documenting and clear to understand code, but some
explanations still might help. The full documentation would help a lot,
especially if it goes into the engine.

[This is not a dig!]

The same could be said about the engine code itself ;)

:)

We do need some sort of email which explains the API and the semantics. For 
instance, I'm pretty sure I won't like the names of the interfaces :) 
spl_foreach is ugly as hell.
Anyway, I'd be glad if we could have a very quick overview.
