I guess I've misunderstood you, sorry.  You said:

My interpretation of that, perhaps incorrect, was that you tried to
use some functionality and tried to find documentation about it, but
either the documentation was inadequate or completely missing.  Based
on that interpretation, I suggested that you report what you tried to
figure out from the documentation, but couldn't.

A list if such issues that lack proper documentation would also be
useful, if you cannot provide a more detailed information.  TIA.
