Well, something I've learned over the last four years is that cute names 
age a lot faster than you'd think. So I'm generally in favor of descriptive 
ones instead, at least when we're dealing with command -line tools. 

And unfortunately, "puppet doc" is pretty much the perfect name for it. :/ 
So, two things:

1. Can we consider renaming the old tool to puppet rdoc, as suggested 
earlier? It's always been janky; a rename might actually be a good signal 
to users that there's now something better. 
2. If that's a no-go, we might want to use a temporary name for the new 
tool, one that shows it will eventually be called puppet doc. Maybe "puppet 
docplus" or something. Once we think we can get away with killing off the 
old-school puppet doc, I'd really like to reclaim its name for the improved 
tool. 

Anyway, if we can't use puppet doc:

- puppet strings is all right, though I don't love it. (It's cute, but it's 
sort of domain-appropriate this time, so I could live with it.)
- new suggestions: "puppet details" or "puppet codex."

I have the same problem with these three.
