  * @section avoptions_implement Implementing AVOptions
+ *
  * This section describes how to add AVOptions capabilities to a struct.
+ * It is intended for developers of FFmpeg itself - AVOptions can technically
+ * be used as a more general toolkit, but is neither intended nor expected
+ * to be good fit for other use cases.
  *
  * All AVOptions-related information is stored in an AVClass. Therefore
  * the first member of the struct should be a pointer to an AVClass describing it.
