Maarten,

Thanks for the detailed explanation of what you, Adi, and Tristan
are working towards.  That is a lot of hard work!

I think that using the type annotations in the code for documentation,
rather than the Epydoc @type markup tag is WAY better than what we have now.

this goal is fully completed, and the docs are published with the new
pydoctor.

I'm looking forward to the end result!
