Hi,

**Please add `` tag or similar:**

I think it would be really handy if the compiler(s) when outputting the documentation XML file if it could use inherited documentation where available/requested. Though I am not sure what should be output if there is no documentation available.

P.S. A Diagnostic and Code Fix that generates document comments for me would also great :smiley:
