Hmm, they just look the same since they are already rendered.

That’s going in the direction of having docstrings usable /now/, where
no rendering occurs.

Yes, probably.

One problem to keep in mind is that (texinfo ...) is only able to render
a small subset of Texinfo.  That’s probably OK for docstrings, though.
