I'll comment about the new documentation on the thread for the commit.

Some other general documentation desires related to this:

I'd like to know how to map the specifics of the new object file format
onto the atom model. Should I just come up with a bunch of new atoms? Is
there an opportunity to share code for the atom representation with other
object file formats (e.g., relocations are a universal concept; is there a
base class that my relocation atom needs to inherit from?)? How can I
identify in what situations to write completely new atoms, and what
situations to factor out a common base from an existing atom type for
another object format?
