Description
I was wondering if ford has a Python API that one can use to determine if
- a Fortran comment is a valid docstring
- the docstring uses `predocmark`
- the docstring uses `docmark_alt`
- Other docstring info and ford settings
I suspect that internally it must have, but I was hoping to use said API to determine during parsing with [`fortls`](https://github.com/gnikit/fortls) to what AST node should the docstring be attached. Currently the fortls documentation parsing is a bit flimsy.
