The correct way would be to just document the changes.

I tried that, but I'm not sufficiently superhuman. Things slowly but inexorably drift out of sync as changes get made in one place but not the other, despite my best efforts. Declaring how things should be and then letting the computer make it so is both less work and more reliable. (This is why I call it "executable documentation".)
