Description

Currently, generated items are largely undocumented. We need to forward field-level documentation to associated setters and getters in traits.

This is particularly necessary when keeping track of which headers do/do not account for their own size in length fields, and/or track length in multiples of 4/8B chunks.

Research direction

Start by locating the code generator for traits and generated setters and getters, then trace how field-level #[doc] attributes are handled. Confirm that documentation for fields appears on the associated generated methods, including the header length details described in the issue; add or update coverage if the repository provides generator tests.
