Not all functions need be documented, so a documentor should consider the 
documentation for a function to be finished when it sees the next “function” 
keyword at the same nesting level.  However, an exception needs to be made 
for extra closures, because the outer function that returns the actual 
function is not the function, and its parameter list does not contain the 
parameters, that you usually want to document.  Yet the identifier is 
assigned the return value of that outer function, and you do want to 
document the identifier if it is globally available or forced by the 
developer to be documented.

Even if that was so (never trust benchmarks), it adds a dependency on 
Node::cloneNode().

AISB, use the “margin” property.
