For what it's worth, I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at 
that table.  Nearly *all* of them are completely inadequate at 
explaining the finer details, and the user has to experiment to figure 
out what actually happens.  I seem to recall other similar examples in 
our documentation for functions.

Personally I would like to see this fixed for all functions, not just 
array functions.  But I think that should be a separate patch.
