I don't think this is a useful investment of our time now. If somebody
finds time/funding/resources for any major reimplementations in this area,
it should be spent on a unified CTRL+VTY configuration system - which for sure
will [have to have] a proper parser.

I don't really see how we can automatically generate documentation? You would
still register individual control commands/nodes from application code, and not
from the generated parser in libosmocore.
