Description

For example, ST.Ref's fields are really an internal implementation detail rather than part of the Lean API. It should be possible to suppress their display while still including the docstring for the type itself.

Research direction

Start by tracing the docstring renderer's handling of structures and inductive types, using ST.Ref as the example. Done means callers can suppress field details while the type's docstring still renders, with behavior verified for both structures and inductive types.
