+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package\.json for you\.
+.P
+It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to,
+and then writes a package\.json file with the options you've selected\.
+.P
+If you already have a package\.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
+the options in there\.
+.P
+It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package\.json
+without a really good reason to do so\.
+.P
+Since this function expects to be run on the command\-line, it doesn't work very
+well as a programmatically\. The best option is to roll your own, and since
+JavaScript makes it stupid simple to output formatted JSON, that is the
+preferred method\. If you're sure you want to handle command\-line prompting,
+then go ahead and use this programmatically\.
