Abstract: This EEP draft proposes a structured documentation API for Erlang
where the documentation is handled as part of the language parser and
included directly in the compiled .beam files, as a replacement for EDoc.
Python, Elixir, and Clojure are examples of languages that follow this
approach of treating documentation as data rather than code comments.
