#1806 compilerDoc to show SubClasses

SlimerDude Sun 4 Mar 2012

Just to say it'd be real useful if the compilerDoc showed all know subclasses of the class in question.

I keep finding myself scrutinising the fwt class list looking for classes ending with xxxPane!

That would be nice, although it always gets into the problem of dependencies and how far you look (in your own pod, in every pod installed, etc)

I think it's not unreasonable to keep it to your own pod. That way the docs don't change depending on what you had installed at the time!

At the IDE level there should be an ability to see a whole hierarchy based on build.fan dependency declaration. For standard fandoc, in-pod-only would be right.

Fantom tends away from deep hierarchies; but fwt and compiler are two places where there is a deep natural inheritance, and where this would be a help.
