Documenting script members
--------------------------
Documentation of a script member must immediately precede the member or its
annotations if it has any. The exception to this is enum values whose description should
be on the same line as the enum for readability.
The description can have more than one line but every line must start
with the double hash symbol ``##`` to be considered as part of the documentation.
The script documentation will update in the editor help window every time the
script is updated. If any member variable or function name starts with an
underscore, it will be treated as private. It will not appear in the documentation and
will be ignored in the help window.

``@deprecated`` and ``@experimental`` tags
------------------------------------------
You can mark a class or any of its members as deprecated or experimental.
This will add the corresponding indicator in the built-in documentation viewer.
This can be especially useful for plugin and library creators.
.. image:: img/deprecated_and_experimental_marks.webp
- **Deprecated** marks a non-recommended API that is subject to removal or incompatible change
in a future major release. Usually the API is kept for backwards compatibility.
- **Experimental** marks a new unstable API that may be changed or removed in the current
major branch. Using this API is not recommended in production code.
.. note::
While technically you can use both ``@deprecated`` and ``@experimental`` tags on the same
class/member, this is not recommended as it is against common conventions.
