My dpldocs.info site doesn't use docs.json, it goes directly from 
the source with a custom parser. So always a chance I bugged 
things up there.

this is a wholly different generator though, so my bugs won't 
affect it.

It is all under a `private:` thing for this file.

http://kameloso.dpldocs.info/source/kameloso.plugins.sedreplace.d.html#L34

Then there's a `public:` directly above the class. My doc 
generator skips private members unless you run the generator 
yourself and pass `-p` to the command line. This is impossible on 
the hosted version, but you can `dub run adrdox -- args...` 
yourself to generate the files.

I would assume the json thing does the same basically.

Have an example there? My parser has been known to get off track 
before on things and just give up on the rest of the file. The D 
parser I have is pretty hacky.

That repetition sounds like a bug in the other thing. Their weird 
handling of `version` is why I actually decided to write my own 
parser!

my version at least shows it kinda sanely:

version(WithSedReplacePlugin)
class SedReplacePlugin : IRCPlugin {}
