Wow, this is really, really cool! You're my hero.
I'm very strongly in favor of having this documentation. However, I think it
might make sense to put "Contrib Modules" as a section under either
"Reference" or "Appendices". Also, I don't think it's necessary to make each
command option a separate subchapter, but I can see how that would be hard to
avoid in an automated system.
Guys, would it be out of the question to do this in 8.3? Please please?
If we go ahead with this, I'll commit to doing a contrib README cleanup so the
doc system works better.
