Good for writing descriptive text, e.g. tutorials and papers.

Not so good for generating summary tables of predicate names, types
modes, determinisms, short descriptions of their function, etc.

There's not much difference between writing a nice formal bit of
TeX/HTML/whatever in a literate program and writing a :- doc that
can be turned into the same.
