Actually the future has always been now, but just not everywhere :) If you add this to your .guile: (use-modules (texinfo reflection)) then all docstrings will be parsed and rendered using Guile's texinfo toolchain. Also modules get nice help too; see e.g. (help (ice-9 popen)). We should probably fix whatever small bugs are out there regarding the output and just enable it by default.
