Yes; see my other reply. It would help to make it easier for users to group
options (and faces).

That's OK, but it's the sharing of such annotations that is most helpful. Your
adding helpful info to a doc string locally doesn't help me understand it better
where I am.
It's helpful to send a bug report with the suggestion, so it can be incorporated
for others to see too. The problem with that is that the official doc must be a
one-size-fits-all, to some extent.
An alternative is to share your extra doc using Emacs Wiki.
One possibility might be (_might_ be - just thinking out loud) to have a doc
string link to an EmacsWiki page that details only that variable, function, or
whatever. This would be somewhat like a doc string link to the manual, but the
difference is that anyone can participate in any way in editing the wiki page.
Just half-baked food for thought.
