OK, but is the current behavior desirable? Seems to me it's mistaken. Nim doc
doesn't ordinarily display non-exported symbols.

"Easy" may be a relative term. :-) Here's what I've figured out:
* `T`'s fields are stored in a node of kind `nkIdentDefs`.
* This node does not support flags; or, at least, it does not have the `sym`
field, the way its parent type does.
* Instead, the node has children, the first of which will be `nkPostfix` when
the field is exported.
So the "hack" solution is to add the following lines to `renderer.nim`.
...
# remove line 616 and insert the following
if n[i].kind == nkPostfix: gsub(g, n[i][1])
else: gsub(g, n[i])
...
# insert at the new line 1420, then indent the following three lines
if n[i][0].kind == nkPostfix: # at line 1420 (first line in the loop
of case nkRecList of gsub)
Run
...and for the second I indent the next three lines.
It would seem better (to me) to check the flags of a `nkRecList`, but it's not
apparent to me that that kind of node has any. Am I missing something?
If this seems OK, I can create a pull request, but I'd be a little surprised.
Also, I suppose this would be problematic for people who want to keep the
current behavior.
If I should move this discussion to an issue in GitHub, I can do that, too. (&
sorry for the noise here if so)
