Description

For example: https://eel.is/c++draft/sf.cmath.riemann.zeta#1

This "Effects:"-clause doesn't specify anything that isn't already specified by the "Returns:"-clause that immediately follows it. If anything, this "Effects:"-clause sounds like an informal commentary on the intentions of the "Returns:"-clause.

Research direction

Start with the specification at sf.cmath.riemann.zeta#1 and inspect the surrounding source for the Effects: and Returns: clauses. Search the sf.cmath section for similarly redundant Effects: clauses, then verify that the draft no longer repeats information already stated by the corresponding Returns: clauses.
