Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported failures for doc comments inside macros: highlight_related, highlight injection, and goto_definition. The issue names no files or tests, so trace each feature from its entry point and identify how macro-contained comments are handled. Done means all three features work for those comments, with regression coverage added where the existing tests are found.
