#### High-level Calculation and Storage
Calculating the full influence list for a pagespec requires trying to match
@@ -409,3 +411,14 @@ Where to store the influence list? Well, it appears that we can just add
regular list of simple dependencies. So, the data stored ends up looking
just like what is stored today by the explicit dependency hacks. Except,
it's calculated more smartly, and is added automatically.

+#### Influence types
+
+Note that influences can also have types, same as dependency types.
+For example, "backlink(foo)" has an influence of foo, of type links.
+"created_before(foo)" also is influenced by foo, but it's a presence
+type. Etc.
