Moving the generated builder types and/or their documentation

[wcoenraads]

Hi! I have a library with a lot of structs that want builders on them, and bon is perfect for this. However, I would like the generated builder types to appear in a separate module in the documentation. Otherwise the module documentation gets pretty cluttered.

Is there a way of accomplishing this? Moving the builder types to a different module than the 'original' type would do the trick, but I don't see anything in the documentation on how to do that (if it's possible at all). Applying #doc[(hidden)] to the builder types would also work, since I could then re-export them from a different module to have the documentation appear there. But I haven't figured out how to apply doc attributes to the generated types.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Hi, this is quite a difficult problem to solve due to the limitations of proc macros and Rust's module syntax. I described this problem in greater detail in #214 with a workaround wrapper macro, which is ugly, and I'm not sure you'd want to go with that route.

I see! That's unfortunate - I'll try to see if the workaround works for my case, but I agree it looks pretty gnarly. Thanks for the quick response, anyway!
