Description
This is just a test of docs gen from the create-wiki-pages.lua script in the plugins folder of the Gideros 
repository using the included vogon.wiki.lua file. From a Lua description file, multiple pages are created 
which can then be relatively easily copied and pasted into new pages. Run create-wiki-pages.lua  without 
arguments for instructions.
Feel free to experiment with vogon.wiki.lua and publish revisions of the Vogon API, which should however
remain decidedly non-Vogon in brevity. Maybe keep some reference to the files involved/the true purpose of
the mission too.
Examples
Standard use of a Vogon.
require "Vogon"
local vogon = Vogon.new()
local poetry = vogon:writePoetry(topic)
local number_of_deaths = vogon:recitePoetry()
