+/// The heart of the attribute-based framework.
+///
+/// This is a function attribute macro. Using this on other Rust constructs won't work.
+///
+/// ## Options
+///
+/// To alter how the framework will interpret the command,
+/// you can provide options as attributes following this `#[command]` macro.
+///
+/// Each option has its own kind of data to stock and manipulate with.
+/// They're given to the option either with the `#[option(...)]` or `#[option = ...]` syntaxes.
+/// If an option doesn't require for any data to be supplied, then it's simply an empty `#[option]`.
+///
+/// If the input to the option is malformed, the macro will give you can error, describing
+/// the correct method for passing data, and what it should be.
+///
+/// The list of available options, is, as follows:

+/// A macro that transforms `async` functions (and closures) into plain functions, whose

+///
+/// # Transformation
+///
+/// The macro transforms an `async` function, which may look like this:
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// async fn foo(n: i32) -> i32 {
+///     n + 4
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// into this (some details omitted):
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// use std::future::Future;
+/// use std::pin::Pin;
+///
+/// fn foo(n: i32) -> Pin<Box<dyn std::future::Future<Output = i32>>> {
+///     Box::pin(async move {
+///         n + 4
+///     })
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// This transformation also applies to closures, which are converted more simply. For instance,
+/// this closure:
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// # #![feature(async_closure)]
+/// #
+/// async move |x: i32| {
+///     x * 2 + 4
+/// }
+/// # ;
+/// ```
+///
+/// is changed to:
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// |x: i32| {
+///     Box::pin(async move {
+///         x * 2 + 4
+///     })
+/// }
+/// # ;
+/// ```
+///
+/// ## How references are handled
+///
+/// When a function contains references, their lifetimes are constrained to the returned
+/// [`Future`]. If the above `foo` function had `&i32` as a parameter, the transformation would be
+/// instead this:
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// use std::future::Future;
+/// use std::pin::Pin;
+///
+/// fn foo<'fut>(n: &'fut i32) -> Pin<Box<dyn std::future::Future<Output = i32> + 'fut>> {
+///     Box::pin(async move {
+///         *n + 4
+///     })
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Explicitly specifying lifetimes (in the parameters or in the return type) or complex usage of
+/// lifetimes (e.g. `'a: 'b`) is not supported.
+///
+/// # Necessity for the macro
+///
+/// The macro performs the transformation to permit the framework to store and invoke the functions.
+///
+/// Functions marked with the `async` keyword will wrap their return type with the [`Future`] trait,
+/// which a state-machine generated by the compiler for the function will implement. This complicates
+/// matters for the framework, as [`Future`] is a trait. Depending on a type that implements a trait
+/// is done with two methods in Rust:
+///
+/// 1. static dispatch - generics
+/// 2. dynamic dispatch - trait objects
+///
+/// First method is infeasible for the framework. Typically, the framework will contain a plethora
+/// of different commands that will be stored in a single list. And due to the nature of generics,
+/// generic types can only resolve to a single concrete type. If commands had a generic type for
+/// their function's return type, the framework would be unable to store commands, as only a single
+/// [`Future`] type from one of the commands would get resolved, preventing other commands from being
+/// stored.
+///
+/// Second method involves heap allocations, but is the only working solution. If a trait is
+/// object-safe (which [`Future`] is), the compiler can generate a table of function pointers
+/// (a vtable) that correspond to certain implementations of the trait. This allows to decide
+/// which implementation to use at runtime. Thus, we can use the interface for the [`Future`] trait,
+/// and avoid depending on the underlying value (such as its size). To opt-in to dynamic dispatch,
+/// trait objects must be used with a pointer, like references (`&` and `&mut`) or `Box`. The
+/// latter is what's used by the macro, as the ownership of the value (the state-machine) must be
+/// given to the caller, the framework in this case.
+///
+/// The macro exists to retain the normal syntax of `async` functions (and closures), while
+/// granting the user the ability to pass those functions to the framework, like command functions
+/// and hooks (`before`, `after`, `on_dispatch_error`, etc.).
+///
+/// # Notes
+///
+/// If applying the macro on an `async` closure, you will need to enable the `async_closure`
+/// feature. Inputs to procedural macro attributes must be valid Rust code, and `async`
+/// closures are not stable yet.
