Description

Right now, if you want to call `features`, you have to know or guess which module to load. Changing chickadee to provide that information will help a great deal. (Looking through all the individual module pages works, but ugh.)

Not sure if I understand what you mean, but chickadee prints the "path" to the symbol you are looking the documentation for at the top of the page. For features, it shows chickadee » chicken » platform » feature.

 
 That's more or less the same in chicken-doc:
 
 {{{
 $ chicken-doc features
 path: (chicken platform features)
 
 -- procedure: (features)
 
 Returns a list of all registered features that will be accepted
 as valid feature-identifiers by `cond-expand`.
