For the command line parser, see

Here is an example of output:

(it is a package called "ms" (as "My Stuff") where I put my utilities).

The system works for module of the standard library too, but since
most of the time they do not have docstrings in reST format, there
are ugly formatting errors. But this is a bug of the standard library,
not of my tool ;)

For the index: "minidoc" associates a footnote number to every name,
and then
prints the names in alphabetical order. You can reach the documentation
for that name with a click.
