Because then it won't run in the environment in which it will finally
run, and hence I still won't be able to deduce all the stuff I need

I can't see any way that a documentation tool can execute a program in
order to be able to build the runtime class model. I'd love to be
shown to be wrong, because then I'll incorporate the feature.
