I'm going to print this and hang on the wall :D

In all seriousness, ii is more of a library for use with shell scripts
and custom plumbing than a fully-featured client. It can also be a base
for a client you'd build. For example, try splitting a tmux window
horizontally, putting "out" in the upper half, and "in" in the lower.

The fact that ii is a standalone executable might be misleading. When
you type in "cat" and hit enter, you shouldn't expect a manual either.
As far as documentation goes... Well, IMHO... Documentation for all
suckless projects... hm, kind of sucks.
