Releasing it as 1.0 would be easy.  Documenting it is another matter.

This is definitely something that needs to be explored further.  Right
now, \function{} and \variable{} are used for documenting function and
variables.  However, I would like to see \datatype{} for documenting
datatypes, e.g.,

   \datatype{Assoc_Type}
   \description
       .
       .
     When used in a \keyword{foreach} statement, it uses one of the
     following \keyword{using} forms:
      
          using ("keys")
          using ("values")
          using ("keys", values)
          
        .
        .
     When an instance of this type is dereferced with the dereference
     operator @ it returns a copy of the instance, e.g.,
     
           a = Assoc_Type;
           b = @a;  % b is a copy of a.
        .
        .
