Description

This is long overdue, but the ever-extending list of "features" should be replaced by a general docs rewrite, with a focus on end-user operations and examples (e.g., https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/smart_open/issues/579#issuecomment-775408020 ). All help appreciated! It is to be expected that going through this process will also help to fill out the API with convenience funcitons.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation and the ever-extending feature list, then read the linked smart_open discussion for context. Done means a general documentation rewrite focused on end-user operations and examples, with any resulting API convenience functions treated as follow-up work.
