@mightyiam:matrix.org	Sorry, there's no documentation. There are tests for the repl examples and there are tests for the WIP expression examples. https://github.com/mobusoperandi/eelco/tree/0eb9042220befe188aa4399ffc6615579cebdd5f/crates/eelco/tests	12:10:46
@mightyiam:matrix.org	Repl example example: ```nix-repl nix-shnepl> nope dope ```	12:11:57
@mightyiam:matrix.org	Expression example example: ```nix null ``` If it evaluates into `null` then it's good. If it evaluates into anything else it's bad. If it fails to evaluate, it's bad. The idea is that the author will use Nix assertions to prove their points in the example.	12:13:49
@mightyiam:matrix.org	For the expression example, we can think of a future feature where the expression is a function that will be called with a scope.	12:16:05
@mightyiam:matrix.org	The usage of assertions in examples is inspired by Rust doctests.	12:18:23
