nix-repl> :doc >
error: syntax error, unexpected '>'
       at «string»:1:1:
            1| >
             |

So I ask, why not?

Proposed solution

Special-case the operators.
Add operator docs into libexpr and make nix spit them out for the manual's generated markdown.

Alternative solutions

• Generalize :doc to a complete documentation reader. Could be nice. Too much scope creep. Awkward to combine titles or title-identifiers and code in one place, but maybe that's just me.
