Haven't had enough time to look closely, so just some quick early comment.

Why include the file name? Presumably we will rely on a `(FILE . POS)`
to find that docstring so including FILE in there is rather redundant
(and in addition to that, this file name can be wrong if it's absolute
since files often get moved between compilation and use).

Why two positions?
Why not use the same position info as used in `byte-compile-warn-x`?

Sounds good.
[ Hopefully we can eventually use that info for `font-lock` so we can
get rid of ad-hoc rules for `defun` and friends. It would require an
additional piece of info (not only the position but also the kind of
definition, to distinguish `defun` from `defvar`). ]
> or (defining-symbol (if (consp struct) (car struct) struct))
[ Haven't seen that yet. ]
