> The new Parrot parser (currently on the master branch) supports capturing comments within the AST. Groovydoc should be adapted to utilise that capability. Currently, in {{SimpleGroovyClassDocAssembler#getJavaDocCommentsBeforeNode()}}, a crude regexp is used to extract the comment out from the source based on the relative position of a known AST node. Instead, with the new parser, we can simply extract it from the AST.
