+     * This plugin allows an ES6 module to specify its TypeDoc name.
+     * It also allows multiple ES6 modules to be merged together into a single TypeDoc module.
+     *
+     * @usage
+     * At the top of an ES6 module, add a "dynamic module comment".  Insert "@module typedocModuleName" to
+     * specify that this ES6 module should be merged with module: "typedocModuleName".
+     *
+     * Similar to the [[DynamicModulePlugin]], ensure that there is a comment tag (even blank) for the
+     * first symbol in the file.
+     *
+     * @example
+     * ```
+     *
+     * /**
+     *  * @module newModuleName
+     *  */
+     * /** for typedoc /
+     * import {foo} from "../foo";
+     * export let bar = "bar";
+     * ```
+     *
+     * Also similar to [[DynamicModulePlugin]], if @preferred is found in a dynamic module comment, the comment
+     * will be used as the module comment, and documentation will be generated from it (note: this plugin does not
+     * attempt to count lengths of merged module comments in order to guess the best one)
