What is the function of this lil' doohickey?
I think it is some type of release to allow easier removal of the wheel for a flat; but for the life of me I can't see how it does it?..........enlightenment please??

When you've got a cable in the lever, that quick-release button - for lack of a better term - is tensioned and slides forward; the lever body will rest on its top edge, rather than over it.
When you want to operate the Q/R, simply pull the brake lever a tad, and flick the button upwards, so the lever can retract into the body. Pull the lever forward again, and the Q/R will click back into the closed position.
