* Description
Integrates with code navigation and documentation tools to help you quickly look
up definitions, references and documentation.
+ Integration with devdocs.io
+ Integration with Dash.app docsets.
+ Jump-to-definition and find-references implementations that just work.
+ Powerful xref integration for languages that support it.
+ Documentation lookup for a variety of online sources (like devdocs.io,
stackoverflow or youtube).
+ Integration with Dash.app docsets.

This module has several soft dependencies:

jump-to-definition/find-references.

*** ~:docset MODES &rest DOCSETS~
Registers a list of DOCSETS (strings) for MODES (either one major mode symbol or
a list of them). Used by ~+lookup/in-docsets~ and ~+lookup/documentation~.
*** ~set-docsets! MODES &rest DOCSETS~
Registers DOCSETS (one string or list of strings) for MODES (one major mode
