The hard part as I see is not how to represent newly generated
documentation block but how to detect that ldoc block is already present
and parse it in this case. Is there a good place in code where I can see
how parsing is implemented?

I have a feeling that people want to use such tool in pre-commit pipe.
So it must preserve/modify all existing comments and add documentation
placeholders for functions which does not have them.
