For example: https://eel.is/c++draft/sf.cmath.riemann.zeta#1

This "Effects:"-clause doesn't specify anything that isn't already specified by the "Returns:"-clause that immediately follows it. If anything, this "Effects:"-clause sounds like an informal commentary on the intentions of the "Returns:"-clause.

Well, having a bit of prose explanation of the gigantic math formula that follows feels helpful to me.

Editorial meeting decisions: We can merge the descriptive parts of the current "Effects", for example: "Returns xi(x), where xi is the Riemann zeta function as given by Formula ??" etc..

@jwakely: any thoughts?
