+---
+
+`nix repl` has a `:doc` command that previously only rendered documentation for internally defined functions.
+This feature has been extended to also render function documentation comments, in accordance with [RFC 145].
+
+Example:
+
+```
+nix-repl> :doc lib.toFunction
+Function toFunction
+    … defined at /home/user/h/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:1072:5
+
+    Turns any non-callable values into constant functions. Returns
+    callable values as is.
+
+Inputs
+
+    v
+
+      : Any value
+
+Examples
+
+    :::{.example}
+
+## lib.trivial.toFunction usage example
+
+      | nix-repl> lib.toFunction 1 2
+      | 1
+      | 
+      | nix-repl> lib.toFunction (x: x + 1) 2
+      | 3
+
+    :::
+```
+
+Known limitations:
+- It does not render documentation for "formals", such as `{ /** the value to return */ x, ... }: x`.
+- Some extensions to markdown are not yet supported, as you can see in the example above.
+
+We'd like to acknowledge Yingchi Long for proposing a proof of concept for this functionality in [#9054](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9054), as well as @sternenseemann and Johannes Kirschbauer for their contributions, proposals, and their work on [RFC 145].

+     * Coroutines are functions that use `co_await`/`co_return` (and `co_yield`, but not supported by @ref Co).
+     *
+     * @ref Co is meant to be used by methods of subclasses of @ref Goal.
+     * The main functionality provided by `Co` is
+     * - `co_await Suspend{}`: Suspends the goal.
+     * - `co_await f()`: Waits until `f()` finishes.
+     * - `co_return f()`: Tail-calls `f()`.
+     * - `co_return Return{}`: Ends coroutine.
+     *
+     * The idea is that you implement the goal logic using coroutines,
+     * and do the core thing a goal can do, suspension, when you have
+     * children you're waiting for.
+     * Coroutines allow you to resume the work cleanly.
+     *
+     * @note Brief explanation of C++20 coroutines:
+     *       When you `Co f()`, a `std::coroutine_handle<promise_type>` is created,
+     *       alongside its @ref promise_type.
+     *       There are suspension points at the beginning of the coroutine,
+     *       at every `co_await`, and at the final (possibly implicit) `co_return`.
+     *       Once suspended, you can resume the `std::coroutine_handle` by doing `coroutine_handle.resume()`.
+     *       Suspension points are implemented by passing a struct to the compiler
+     *       that implements `await_sus`pend.
+     *       `await_suspend` can either say "cancel suspension", in which case execution resumes,
+     *       "suspend", in which case control is passed back to the caller of `coroutine_handle.resume()`
+     *       or the place where the coroutine function is initially executed in the case of the initial
+     *       suspension, or `await_suspend` can specify another coroutine to jump to, which is
+     *       how tail calls are implemented.
+     *
