+Doc-Comments
+------------
+
+Similar to Rust, comments starting with `///` (three slashes) or `/**` (two asterisks) are
+_doc-comments_.
+
+Doc-comments can only appear in front of [function] definitions, not any other elements:
+
+```rust
+/// This is a valid one-line doc-comment
+fn foo() {}
+
+/** This is a
+ ** valid block
+ ** doc-comment
+ **/
+fn bar(x) {
+   /// Syntax error - this doc-comment is invalid
+   x + 1
+}
+
+/** Syntax error - this doc-comment is invalid */
+let x = 42;
+
+/// Syntax error - this doc-comment is also invalid
+{
+   let x = 42;
+}
+```
+
+Doc-comments are stored within the script's [`AST`] after compilation.
+
+The `AST::iter_functions` method provides a `ScriptFnMetadata` instance
+for each function defined within the script, which includes doc-comments.
+
+Doc-comments never affect the evaluation of a script nor do they incur
+significant performance overhead.  However, third party tools can take advantage
+of this information to auto-generate documentation for Rhai script functions.
