the error was reported initially on sept 2018 here nim-lang/Nim#8989 but still happens today

It seemed to me this was a nim bug but araq closed it there saying (nim-lang/Nim#8989 (comment))

That's a jester bug.

proposal

reopen dom96/httpbeast#14 ; I just checked, this fixes this issue @dom96
this issue is rather annoying as it prevents nim doc if any of your modules imports jester. This PR would fix this.

trying to build nim doc jester.nim on:

I'm getting a similar issue (maybe the same one):

I'm just getting into Nim, so I'm not to privvy as to whether httpbeast or jester is at the bottom of things.

I'm seeing a failuar similar to @ptdel
