Why is scala.tools* not in the API documentation?

What is scala.tools? What API are you looking for?

Why are these not included in the available documentation?
Is there another place to look for these?

The tools package concerns the compiler and isn't part of the standard library. You can find the latest documentation at http://www.scala-lang.org/archives/downloads/distrib/files/nightly/docs/compiler/index.html#package.

Thank you! Is this linked from somewhere in the Scala web site?
Or, why is it not linked from the documentation page
(or have I missed that link)?

I think that at least the Compiler/Interpreter classes are
quite crucial for people who want to embed Scala, automate
scala compilation etc. -- unfortunately I did not find too much
documentation on that topic.
