The `:doc` command, so far implemented as a ''tech preview'', could be a
lot nicer:
* For a type constructor, it should also show the data constructors and
their documentation
* It should include documentation on function arguments.
* For records it should include any docs on the fields.
Overall I think it should work roughly like the `:info` command, but of
course enhanced by the docstrings.
