Feature description
ros2 doctor currently does not print a lot of information on the RMW (except which RMW is being used).
thus it's not helpful when debugging issues related to the middleware.
e.g. when using the discovery server it does not print any information about relevant ROS_* environment variables being set.
furthermore it could e.g. point out that a discovery server is set but ROS_SUPER_CLIENT isn't (which would explain why ros2 commands don't see anything even if nodes are running).
