+    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    Supports annotations for C API elements:
+
+    * reference count annotations for C API functions.  Based on
+      refcount.py and anno-api.py in the old Python documentation tools.
+
+    * stable API annotations
+
+    Usage: Set the `refcount_file` config value to the path to the reference
+    count data file.
