It is not clear to me why one module should be considered being more
important than another. I would not support if you suggest targeting
the effort by the *topic* of the modules being doc tested. Arguing
like "many people do calculus and graphics, so, concentrate on this"
will only lead to a meta-discussion.

Or do you just say that adding a single doc test to a module with 0%
coverage will have a better impact than adding a single test for a
module with 70% coverage? This might indeed be a good way to find a
starting point.

Anyway, I am +1 to trying and getting a 90% overall doc test coverage;
it is a valuable aim.
IMO it is *always* worth it to write doc tests since it is very likely
to uncover flaws (in particular if the person who writes the test is
not the same as the one who wrote the code).
