Bug description

ocamldoc has not been updated to support inline record. This led to a manual build failure that has been fixed by octachron in #690 , but there probably still exists programs on which ocamldoc will fail with an assert failure.

octachron expressed interest in working on this.

I'm setting the target to 4.04+dev because having ocamldoc fail on existing language features may bite users down the road, so fixing this as soon as possible is preferable.

Expressed interest might be a tad too strong, but anyway here is a pull
request which at least fixes the remaining ocamldoc crashes and adds some basic support for documentation comments within inline records:

#720
