#20978 `PANTS_VERSION` BUILD file symbol has no docs Issue created by huonw Describe the bug The

PANTS_VERSION

constant BUILD file symbol has no documentation:

PANTS_VERSION=2.22.0.dev3 pants help-all | jq .name_to_build_file_info.PANTS_VERSION

{
  "documentation": null,
  "is_target": false,
  "name": "PANTS_VERSION",
  "signature": null
}

Preferably we'd have: • text for

documentation

• some indication of what type value is, maybe like

"signature": "Version"
