Maybe we just use Zaks tool to pull from the inline text (Krinkle?)

A few months back I've asked Zak to publish his tool into the repository[1], but never heard back from him. I'll ask him again.

I think it is to some extent, but nowhere near as bad as it was...

Needs checking again, as we've added a few more modules

Oh I don't think API docs are perfect, I just think they're much better than everything else.
