For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way. NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here. These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.
