Summary:
The new inline documentation parsing/support is awesome!
As it stands now, it doesn’t seem to be able to emphasize portions of the comments.

As it is so much nicer to write than HTML, I’d love to see markdown support for documentation comments.

The most important Markdown features I’d love to see for commenting methods/functions are emphasis, and strong emphasis.

For class level conceptual documentation, I guess, the full feature would be pretty much required.
