at(1) mysteries

I have some questions regarding at(1):

1) Why isn't /usr/lib/cron/queuedefs described in the documentation
   (man page or otherwise)?  Should the system administrator know
   what it does and how to modify it?

2) Why isn't /usr/lib/cron/.proto described in the documentation (it
   isn't even listed in the FILES section of the man page)?  Why does
   at(1) attempt to use /usr/lib/cron/.proto.<queuetype> as the
   prototype? How would /usr/lib/cron/.proto.<queuetype> get created?
   Is this something that the system administrator should know about?

3) Why isn't the -q option documented?

I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks,
