I'm moving this to its own branch, to write and review separately from the @mainactor updates.
This works around a known issue in DocC:
swiftlang/swift-markdown#88
With the tilde underlines, @mainactor in code was being treated as a
DocC at-directive, leading to incorrect output
This reverts most of commit f3e96e4. Removing the tildes is much better than nonbreaking spaces in code.

With the changes from SE-0461, saying it runs as a nonisolated function doesn't tell you anything about where the task runs. Co-authored-by: Holly Borla <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: John McCall <[email protected]>

As of SE-0442, withTaskGroup(...) can infer the child task's result type. Coalesced the return into a single statement because the compiler can't infer the nil value's type in the multi-return spelling, which would mean you still have to have the "of" and an explicit type.

In the past, TSPL largely depended on the API reference for the MainActor type to document its use as an attribute. However, the role of the main actor is more important in the Swift 6.2 flavor of concurrency, so we need to discuss it in the book as part of the conceptual framing.
