+  # Documentation
+  The `@doc` macro can be used to both set and retrieve documentation /
+  metadata. By default, documentation is written as Markdown, but any
+  object can be placed before the arrow. For example:
+
+      @doc \"""
+        # The Foo Function
+        `foo(x)`: Foo the living hell out of `x`.
+      \""" ->
+      function foo() ...
+
+  The `->` is not required if the object is on the same line, e.g.
+
+      @doc "foo" foo
+
+  # Retrieving Documentation
+  You can retrieve docs for functions, macros and other objects as
+  follows:
+
+      @doc foo
+      @doc @time
+      @doc md""
+
+  # Functions & Methods
+  Placing documentation before a method definition (e.g. `function foo()
+  ...` or `foo() = ...`) will cause that specific method to be
+  documented, as opposed to the whole function. Method docs are
+  concatenated together in the order they were defined to provide docs
+  for the function.
