Yes, now I recall it also happened to me.
I'd try to think about ways to make it less painful to understand,
on "make check". Does `make check` currently shows the problem is
coming from comments.sql ? Because I'm afraid CREATE EXTENSION won't
tell much about such errors.

I still think having a way to verify the docs match the implementation
is of great help. Current format allows us to do that, both via
comments.sql generation and garden test. I think a new format should
give us the same features.
