Argh, you're right. I cut and pasted then edited the wrong thing from my test
build. How are you building these? The `rustdoc` target seems to ignore Nova (or
I'm doing something wrong).

Will do. I thought Joel had addressed your comments in the fix patch I pulled in
from him (he wrote most of this originally) but I can see the `/// # Example:`
heading is wrong.

No, I think it *is* critical :-) Much easier just to get this right from the
beginning than deal with heaps of errors/warnings later. It's just my fingers
that are still getting used to the subtle differences between C kernel code and
Rust kernel code, so thanks for the guidance.
