This is a possible fix, by more fully separating the core docsystem from the presentation layer.
@doc
always returns a DocStr or vector of DocStrs, and a newREPL.@showdoc
handles parsing markdown and filling in helpful text when no docstring is found.This allows a new behavior: when you copy a docstring using
@doc (@doc foo) bar
(considered harmful), if@doc foo
returns multiple items there is an error. Previously it would concatenate them into a single markdown document and use that as the new docstring, which seems a bit crazy to me.This is breaking of course; for your consideration.
