That would be great, but it wouldn't replace what I am doing. I have
taylored in my autogeneration of docs a lot of smart guessing (special
cases for my module?) to have a usable and readable doc generated. I hate
the docs generated by tools like doxygen. They are just not meant for end
users, but for programmers.
Two purposes, two tools; fair enough.
