Summary of Problem

Certain global variables (or probably fields) with some initialization expressions don’t print out reasonably in the generated docs.

Steps to Reproduce

Source Code:

var a = __primitive("get compiler variable", "CHPL_HOME");
var b = if true then 1 else 2;
var c = for i in 1..10 do i;
var d = forall i in 1..10 do i;
var e = [i in 1..10] i;
