As of now doc strings are not generated for private items in the macros
crate. I am moving the `parse_ordered_fields!` macro into
macros/helpers.rs but this means the doc strings are not generated for
the macro anymore. The `parse_ordered_fields!` macro is a larger helper
function, and the doc strings are relevant and helpful for macro
developers that wants to use it.

If it is private, then it is what it is, don't worry about it --
developers can still read the source code.

But, yes, having a render of the private items is something I have
wanted for a long time, but as a runtime toggle, so that it is easy to
go from one to the other (and without having to have 2 entire copies
of the docs).

Please the entry "Private documentation (perhaps as an extension of
the private items/fields toggle)" I have at:

   https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/350

Upstream `rustdoc` implemented an MVP of the idea via CSS/JS in this draft PR:

   https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141299

If you want to help on that, then you could try it and leave some
feedback there! :)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel

I will leave it as it is then.
I will try and look at it if time permits :)

Best regards,
