No, I mean description of when this target is useful in real life, and how you will use it. In other words, put yourself in a place of someone who reads the manual about the record/replay target and asks him/herself "why should I care about this new feature?" Then try to answer that question. And try to answer it so that the reader will wonder how could she ever get by without this feature before.
