And btw, I very much doubt that the (apparent) vision of having all,
or even most of the documentation available in a single format is
practically attainable anyway.  Unless that format is HTML or some
variant of it, because most projects provide their documentation in
that format, and Web browsers are ubiquitous.  Why should we believe
that the Dash/Zeal docset format will win the world?
