-A _const fn_ is a function that one is permitted to call from a const context.
+r[const-eval.const-fn.intro]
+A _const function_ is a function that can be called from a const context. It is defined with the `const` qualifier, and also includes [tuple struct] and [tuple enum variant] constructors.
 
-r[const-eval.const-fn.usage]
-Declaring a function
-`const` has no effect on any existing uses, it only restricts the types that arguments and the
-return type may use, and restricts the function body to constant expressions.

+> const fn square(x: i32) -> i32 { x * x }

+r[const-eval.const-fn.type-restrictions]
+The types of a const function's parameters and return type are restricted to those that are compatible with a const context.
