Description

> Unrelated to this, but I feel like nothing should be generated for these standard library functions which are already documented by LuaLS.
>
> You get generics and a more in-depth description of them with LuaLS anyway.
>
> Although I see that may be problematic for entries like https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Global.pcall which do add onto the description with gmod-specific info.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the extraction logic and comparing LuaLS standard-library coverage with Garry's Mod-specific additions; done means avoiding redundant standard functions while preserving entries such as Global.pcall that add GMod-specific information.
