Being able to set the decision weight of prefixes is a nice feature, but
when it's not really documented in what way it influences the decision
process, people like myself will screw it up and assume that it gets
added to the prefix path lenth, and thus that smaller weight wins.
.. which is not the case. Document the actual behaviour.
