Just as a note regarding this new syntax for anyone reading:

It’s still being experimented with in Docile/Lexicon, though so far I’ve 
found it much more enjoyable to use.
Package load times aren’t affected nearly as much as with @doc since 
collection and parsing of docstrings
only happens once a user queries the help system.

If anyone has thoughts/ideas they’d like to discuss regarding these kind of 
things then please do head over to
the issues list for either Docile 
<https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/Docile.jl/issues> or Lexicon 
<https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/Lexicon.jl/issues>.
