Then extractor programs could be used to produce in context online help and the associated text for use in the man pages. I think a large number of people would like this. It is always disconcerting to come upon code without a thread of documentation inline. I've often wondered where people pick up such a skill. Most posters to comp.sources.* have mastered it quite nicely. Since this is a simple change which large potential benefit, I hope it will be considered for the next release.
