I think this rule makes sense; it would be pretty confusing if a string still acted as a doc string despite any number of intervening blank and comment lines.
@Keno @yuyichao In addition to this, I'd consider restricting doc string parsing to basic string literals. For any other kind of string you'd have to use
@doc xyz""" """ -> ...
. That syntax is ugly but the parsing rule is equally simple. Thoughts?
