"""
Implementation of apidoc-ish documentation which generates actual
Markdown that can be used with MkDocs, and fits with Diátaxis design
principles for effective documentation. Because the others really
don't.

In particular, this library...

  * is aware of type annotations (PEP 484, etc.)
  * fixes Py version bugs related to `typing` and `inspect`
  * handles forward references (prior to Python 3.8)
  * links to source lines in a GitHub repo
  * provides non-bassackwards parameter descriptions (eyes on *you*, GOOG)
  * does not require use of a plugin
  * uses `icecream` for debugging
  * exists b/c Sphinx really sucks

You're welcome.
