Yeah, that’s exactly what I do. I crafted a few very simple `ripgrep` regex-ish expressions and `alias`-ed them in my `~/.zshrc` and then just do e.g. `exdoc Enum.group_by` in the terminal.

…Actually it might be time to extend that script to use `open` (Mac) / `xdg-open` (Linux) so as to just open the docs in a browser. 🤔
