nix/src/libexpr-c/nix_api_value.h
Robert Hensing 5fc0c4f102 doc: Improve libexpr-c docs
- Uses the more explicit `@ingroup` most of the time, to avoid problems
  with nested groups, and to make group membership more explicit.
  The division into headers is not great for documentation purposes,
  so this helps.
- More attention for memory management details
- Various other improvements to doc comments
