Description

I would love to see API Specification style documentation for Sinon, along the lines of what you see in Java (the gold standard of documentation), or jQuery.

An A-Z alphabetical list of functionality, written in a non-conversational way (which is how the current documentation is currently written) is what this documentation needs.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing documentation structure, find a function not yet documented in the A Z style, and add a concise API reference entry following the pattern of Java or jQuery docs.
