Great, that works! `Code.fetch_docs(:'Elixir.Kernel')` gives me structured data which I can work with. One more question, how do I specify a function? I have tried `Code.fetch_docs(:'Elixir.Kernel.is_atom/1')`, but I get `{:error, :module_not_found}`, same thing without the `/1` part.

EDIT: Never mind, I need to look at the implementation of `Ex.Introspection.h/1`, not `Ex.Introspection.h/1`.
