Sorry for the shameless plug, but swiftlang/swift#11264 fixed https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2487 which was a quite popular SR. 🎉

@marcelofabri this is great! 🥇 do you think you could explain this a bit more? 😅

@jessesquires Swift 2.3 removed the "source.decl.attribute.__raw_doc_comment" attribute from structures returned by SourceKit. This was used by SwiftLint to implement ValidDocsRule and MissingDocsRule.

That PR not only restores the functionality, but takes a step further and adds the range of a doc comment for each declaration. This would make possible to add back those rules (and their implementation could possibly even be simpler now).
