Actually the future has always been now, but just not everywhere :)

If you add this to your .guile:

  (use-modules (texinfo reflection))

then all docstrings will be parsed and rendered using Guile's texinfo
toolchain.  Also modules get nice help too; see e.g. (help (ice-9
popen)).  We should probably fix whatever small bugs are out there
regarding the output and just enable it by default.
