I suppose you've seen the comments in lily/include/smobs.hh and
lily/include/small-smobs.hh ?  I know it's kind of unusual to expect
useful information from source file comments, but those may have been
phrased a bit more diligently than average.

While the CG should certainly not be quiet here, those comments may at
least be a reasonable starting point.
