The flip side, of course, is that having documentation separate from code
often leads to the documentation becoming out of sync with the code.

What happens when someone renames or moves some code,  but doesn't also
move the  docs? What happens if they change the implementation? Will people
remember that every code change might potentially also require a change to
documentation, stored somewhere else, and potentially versioned
independently?
