Unfortunately, you've stumbled across one of the weakness of open source.
Many of the coreutils come from varied backgrounds, with varying levels of
documentation, and there is no cohesive design document (besides reading
the code itself).  Contributions to improve the documentation and code
comments are greatly appreciated.
