FYI: I'm "very close now" TM (:-)) to a RiR parser but I'm going on
vacation this weekend so you'll have to wait a while more. Maybe someone
beats me to it? ;-)

The solution I've chosen is to have the comments as "statements" in the
AST. So you'd have to associate them with the following class or method
def yourself. Other/better ideas anyone?

BTW, I'd love to see widespread use of a documenting tool of the sort you
describe.
