There are a few places in nixpkgs lib where `**Foo**:` is used as a heading instead of the usual markdown `# Foo` ones. I think this is intentional with how it gets rendered in the manual, e.g. [`lib.lists.sortOn`][1].
[1]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#function-library-lib.lists.sortOn
`nix-doc` prints this as
```
*Laws**:
```nix
sortOn f == sort (p: q: f p < f q)
```
```
chomping off the first asterisk as part of `cleanup_single_line` that's meant to deal with `/** \n * \n * \n */` style doc comments. This also means the usage in lix ends up funny-looking with a trailing asterisk as if there's a footnote to pay attention to (which is how I first noticed it, heh)
The fix:
When cleaning up a single line and removing a prefix comment character,
ensure it's followed by whitespace (or the last character of the line).

package.nix previously needed this callPackage'd externally, which
didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.
Thus we changed it to make it more self contained.
