"""Helpers for keeping stardoc documentation up-to-date.

These are currently a private API in bazel-skylib.
See discussion:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/pull/321#issuecomment-1081166216

If you need a similar feature, you can consider using a similar rule
available from a third-party:
