Automatic command description generation

[johannesE]

The botfather expects a list of commands like this:

command1 - Description
command2 - Another description

This could be generated automatically from the code. So this is a feature request. :-)

Thanks for this awesome library btw. I got started in less than a minute.

Title's interesting. Can you explain more about it?

No problem, I always press enter here and send stuff before finishing.

Indeed, that's a cool feature and I think it'd be great to have here.

I'm a little short in time for this week. Wanna give a try? Or I can schedule to give a looks on this later.

Thanks for pointing out this feature, btw!

I am unsure yet on how to automatically generate this, but yes, I'll take a look :). The result would ideally be a mix command that returns the documentation ready for copy pasting based on the use of the command makro. For the description it takes either an option parameter or the line just above it.

Maybe you could use Elixir's approach of '@doc' although I don't know if it's possible for macros, so I'm just aiming at the dark.

If you find some interesting approach comment here so we can look for a good standard on how to write the description.
