I have the following configuration in my gulpfile.js:

gulp.task("docs", function() {
  gulp.src("src/**/*.js")
    .pipe(documentation('html', { shallow: true }, {
      name: pkg.name,
      version: pkg.version
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist/docs"));
});

When I add polyglot: true after the shallow: true, the generated documentation becomes blank. I do not want the JavaScript to be analyzed.

One particular reason is that overloaded functions have a lot of argN: any at the end if you leave it out in the documentation.
