_Missing documentation for a public member._

## Description

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when the declaration of part of the
public API of a package doesn't have a documentation comment.

## Example

The following code produces this diagnostic because the class `C` doesn't
have a documentation comment:

```dart
class [!C!] {}
```

## Common fixes

Add a documentation comment.

```dart
/// Documentation comment.
class C {}
```
