came out pretty nicely.

I actually find this list somewhat unreadable. For one, what grabs my attention first are the "Effects" or "Returns" clauses and it is not immediately obvious what they relate to, if the signature preceding or the one after.

Going down a bit in the same page, the signatures for function templates signatures are more indented than the "Effects/Returns" clauses which also doesn't help.

I think the function declarations should be given some more emphasis and their readability could be improved.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how this would be better accomplished. Perhaps some more line breaks and indentation, together with syntax highlighting would aid on the readability side. Whitespace, larger fontsizes or different background colors, for example, could help on the emphasis side.

Best regards,


João
