You are wrong. There are systems like Mole for lisps which
transform the source to render part of the documentation.
http://www196.pair.com/lisovsky/download/mole/mole-doc.html
I'd be surprised if none of doxygen and similar systems parse
non-commentary source.

There are also other interesting border cases like GNU hello and
postscript. I hope these can be catalogued in the FAQ under a
question "What are awkward examples for dividing documentation
and programs?" or similar, along with Postscript and others.
