I could do that pretty easily, but I'm afraid that documentation that
isn't in the same file as the code would tend to be updated less often
than documentation in the same file. It might not be a problem though,
and I'm happy to try.

The other alternative is to make our documentation format more
expressive, but that might be a lot of trouble.

That would be ideal, but I was concerned that the documentation wasn't
copyrighted by the FSF. Unless Thien-Thi is interested in contributing
it, of course.
