Would this work in the gtk-doc "source" or the generated html?
If the former, a fair amount of gtk-doc will probably be required.

Ideally the documentation should be as close to the source code as 
possible, which would mean that an extension has to be written
so the documentation can be written above the actually wrapping function 
and later be extracted.

Is anyone volunteering to start this?

I'd like to help out converting the PyGTK manual at some point.
