Kurtis Rader 784c4159d2 Minor documentation improvements
Fixing issue #857 will require some non-trivial work. But I noticed these
documentation cleanups when I started working on the issue so I'm making
them as an independent change.

// Examples:

// Output a function that takes no arguments and outputs `$value`s when called.
// Examples:
//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> f=(constantly lorem ipsum)
// ~> $f
// ▶ lorem
// ▶ ipsum
// ```
//
// The above example is actually equivalent to simply `f = []{ put lorem ipsum }`;

//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> f = (constantly (uname))
// ~> $f
// ▶ Darwin
// ~> $f
// ▶ Darwin
// ```
//
// The above code only calls `uname` once, while if you do `f = []{ put (uname) }`,
// every time you invoke `$f`, `uname` will be called.

//
// ```elvish
// eval $code &ns=$nil

//
// Evaluates `$code`, which should be a string. The evaluation happens in the

//
// If `$code` fails to parse or compile, the parse error or compilation error is
// raised as an exception.
//
// Examples:
//
// ```elvish-transcript

// ~> ns = (ns [&x=initial])
// ~> eval 'put $x; x = altered; put $x' &ns=$ns
// ▶ initial

//
// ```elvish
// -source $filename
// ```
//
// Read the named file, and evaluate it in the current scope.

// This function is deprecated. Use [eval](#eval) instead.
//
// Examples:
//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> cat x.elv
// echo 'executing x.elv'
// foo = bar
// ~> -source x.elv
// executing x.elv
// ~> echo $foo
// bar
// ```
//
// Note that while in the example, you can reference `$foo` after sourcing `x.elv`,
// putting the `-source` command and reference to `$foo` in the **same code chunk**
// (e.g. by using <span class="key">Alt-Enter</span> to insert a literal Enter, or
// using `;`) is invalid:
//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> # A new Elvish session
// ~> cat x.elv
// echo 'executing x.elv'
// foo = bar
// ~> -source x.elv; echo $foo
// Compilation error: variable $foo not found
// [interactive], line 1:
// -source x.elv; echo $foo
// ```
//
// This is because the reading of the file is done in the evaluation phase, while
// the check for variables happens at the compilation phase (before evaluation). So
// the compiler has no evidence showing that `$foo` is actually valid, and will
// complain. (See [here](../learn/unique-semantics.html#execution-phases) for a
// more detailed description of execution phases.)
//
// To work around this, you can add a forward declaration for `$foo`:
//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> # Another new session
// ~> cat x.elv
// echo 'executing x.elv'
// foo = bar
// ~> foo = ''; -source x.elv; echo $foo
// executing x.elv
// bar
// ```

// TimeAfter is used by the sleep command to obtain a channel that is delivered

// sleep $duration

// Pauses for at least the specified duration. The actual pause duration depends
// on the system.
//
// This only affects the current Elvish context. It does not affect any other
// contexts that might be executing in parallel as a consequence of a command
// such as [`peach`](#peach).
//
// A duration can be a simple [number](../language.html#number) (with optional
// fractional value) without an explicit unit suffix, with an implicit unit of
// seconds.
//
// A duration can also be a string written as a sequence of decimal numbers,
// each with optional fraction, plus a unit suffix. For example, "300ms",
// "1.5h" or "1h45m7s". Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s",
// "m", "h".
//
// Passing a negative duration causes an exception; this is different from the
// typical BSD or GNU `sleep` command that silently exits with a success status
// without pausing when given a negative duration.
//
// See the [Go documentation](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) for
// more information about how durations are parsed.
//
// Examples:
//
// ```elvish-transcript
// ~> sleep 0.1 # sleeps 0.1 seconds
// ~> sleep 100ms # sleeps 0.1 seconds
// ~> sleep 1.5m # sleeps 1.5 minutes
// ~> sleep 1m30s # sleeps 1.5 minutes
// ~> sleep -1
// Exception: sleep duration must be >= zero
// [tty 8], line 1: sleep -1

// duration in human-readable form.
//
