[Frank Schwach]

Yes, I still have the primer3redux doc on my TODO list. Sorry, haven't
had the time to do this lately but will loook into this as soon as I

I do plan on an update in the next few weeks to address the various Issues on github, if you can file this as well it would help.

Would be easy enough to alias it for convenience...
