Suppose the C++ STL documentation, such as it is, linked you to CLRS. Would you regard it as adequate or would you demand more? I don't expect a rigorous academic treatment here but at least something to tell me (a) how efficient the implementation is and (b) why (or when) I might want to use X or Y provided feature over Z. For example: why is the Euclidean heuristic "slow"? Is it a shitty implementation? Is it because it's underestimating the goal distance too much? Another gripe: the author doesn't even tell me what kind of open and closed list implementations are in use! I don't mean to be a hater but this fails at contributing something novel (which it doesn't), it fails as a learning resource which teaches something interesting (which it doesn't) and it fails as a well documented programming hack (which it isn't).
