Another improvement would be place holders for the parameters 
that get filled in automatically. It's extremely tedious, 
redundant, and error prone to manually name parameters inside the 
document comments.

I like the idea of embedded documentation, it's nice and has a 
ton of potential, and can be made a whole lot better.
