I'm doubting there is any disagreement that this is needed. Three of us
said as much recently [1] while discussing a user question regarding our
documentation for expression indexes.
I presently haven't felt moved to fill the need myself as so I was fine
with at least providing a high-level summary in the glossary which we also
the general user to understand the idea without having to dive into the
README. The details for internals can continue to be handled there in the
interest of at least getting something committed for the majority of users.
