What is the proper way to determine if a name has Documentation.
I have been doing @doc name and then scraping the output for the phrase "No documentation found."

You can look up if the name is in Docs.meta

See https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/225542-helpdesk/topic/finding.20out.20if.20a.20function.20has.20a.20docstring for some examples

I went with startswith(string(@doc foo), "No documentation found.") as it seems fairly fast.
