The 20% rest – sidebar for documentation – are not implemented for a reason.
The sidebar to show the documentation is just a presentation detail. What I’d really like as a developer is (a) the ability to attach documentation with a specific scope ranging from small things like a function parameter or variable, though larger things like a function or a set of related functions, up to whole files or packages, and then (b) editors that recognise the scoped documentation and present it contextually.
I’d like all relevant comments to be easily visible when I might want to refer to them. Also, I’d like to know what documentation exists in the first place, which is not always obvious when we rely on things like big banner comments at the top of files/sections or having separate README files scattered through the tree.
