I'm interested in "@keyword" substrings of the docstring that indicate
the keywords for a particular function.  The goals are to:

- list all keywords
- list all keywords for a function
- list all functions for a keyword

Juri's solution is slow, as Lennart noted, due to the `documentation'
issue you mentioned.  I said I think a defun-after-hook would be the
best solution.  Maybe it should be combined with a etc/DOC scan to find
all the existing keywords quickly.
