All of this could be accomplished in an automated fashion. It would require writing no new documentation, just a few scripts to parse existing documentation and automatically add new links to automatically generated pages that are just a list of links to other locations in the docs - such as existing example code - where the same class method, instance method, protocol, constant, etc. is used or mentioned. I believe that this would represent the work of a couple of person days at most and would increase the usefulness of the already existing documentation quite significantly.


No, it could and would not (as my earlier illustration showed).
It's not helpful to make assertions like this without knowing anything about the production process.


Suggestions as to how the documentation might be improved to better present the information, what information is required, and so on, are welcome, but please don't make misleading claims like this.
