"Returns" and "Errors" sections are only valid for commands. They
document the success and the error response, respectively.
"Errors" sections should be formatted as an rST list, each entry
detailing a relevant error condition. For example::
# Errors:
# - If @device does not exist, DeviceNotFound
# - Any other error returns a GenericError.
A "Since: x.y.z" tagged section lists the release that introduced the
definition.
