-             This class represents a parameter to a command that will be sent to server

+            Arrays of arrays, enumerations of enumerations, arrays of enumerations etc.
+            are treated as multi-dimensional arrays (in much the same manner as an array of arrays
+            is used to emulate multi-dimensional arrays in languages that lack native support for them).
+            If such an enumeration of enumerations is "jagged" (as opposed to rectangular, cuboid,
+            hypercuboid, hyperhypercuboid, etc) then this class will "correctly" serialise it, but pg
+            will raise an error as it doesn't allow jagged arrays.

-            <p>When using this constructor, you must be aware of a possible misuse of the constructor which takes a DbType parameter.
-            This happens when calling this constructor passing an int 0 and the compiler thinks you are passing a value of DbType.
-            Use <code> Convert.ToInt32(value) </code> for example to have compiler calling the correct constructor.</p>

-            Provides the underlying mechanism for reading schema information.
+            <para>Provides an implementation of NpgsqlDataReader in which all data is pre-loaded into memory.
+            This operates by first creating a ForwardsOnlyDataReader as usual, and then loading all of it's
+            Rows into memory. There is a general principle that when there is a trade-off between a class design that
+            is more efficient and/or scalable on the one hand and one that is less efficient but has more functionality
+            (in this case the internal-only functionality of caching results) that one can build the less efficent class
+            from the most efficient without significant extra loss in efficiency, but not the other way around. The relationship
+            between ForwardsOnlyDataReader and CachingDataReader is an example of this).</para>
+            <para>Since the interface presented to the user is still forwards-only, queues are used to
+            store this information, so that dequeueing as we go we give the garbage collector the best opportunity
+            possible to reclaim any memory that is no longer in use.</para>
+            <para>ForwardsOnlyDataReader being used to actually
+            obtain the information from the server means that the "leg-work" is still only done (and need only be
+            maintained) in one place.</para>
+            <para>This class exists to allow for certain potential backwards-compatibility issues to be resolved
+            with little effort on the part of affected users. It is considerably less efficient than ForwardsOnlyDataReader
+            and hence never used internally.</para>

+            Use caution when using this overload of the

+            Because this overload takes a <i>value</i> of type Object,
+            you must convert the integral value to an <b>Object</b>
+            type when the value is zero, as the following C# example demonstrates.
+            <code>parameters.Add(":pname", Convert.ToInt32(0));</code>
+            If you do not perform this conversion, the compiler will assume you
+            are attempting to call the NpgsqlParameterCollection.Add(string, DbType) overload.

-            Use caution when using this overload of the

-            Because this overload takes a <i>value</i> of type Object,
-            you must convert the integral value to an <b>Object</b>
-            type when the value is zero, as the following C# example demonstrates.
-            <code>parameters.Add(":pname", Convert.ToInt32(0));</code>
-            If you do not perform this conversion, the compiler will assume you
-            are attempting to call the NpgsqlParameterCollection.Add(string, DbType) overload.
