+//! ## huak-pyproject-toml
+//!
+//! Projects have manifest files named pyproject.toml (as specified in [PEP 517](https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/)). The data can consist of project metadata as well as tooling configuration. Here's Huak's pyproject.toml
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [project]
+//! name = "huak"
+//! version = "0.0.20a1"
+//! description = "A Python package manager written in Rust and inspired by Cargo."
+//! authors = [
+//!     {email = "cnpryer@gmail.com"},
+//!     {name = "Chris Pryer"}
+//! ]
+//! readme = "README.md"
+//! license = {text = "MIT"}
+//! requires-python = ">=3.7"
+//! classifiers = [
+//!     "Programming Language :: Rust",
+//! ]
+//!
+//! [project.urls]
+//! issues = "https://github.com/cnpryer/huak/issues"
+//! documentation = "https://github.com/cnpryer/huak"
+//! homepage = "https://github.com/cnpryer/huak"
+//! repository = "https://github.com/cnpryer/huak"
+//!
+//! [tool.maturin]
+//! bindings = "bin"
+//! manifest-path = "crates/huak-cli/Cargo.toml"
+//! module-name = "huak"
+//! python-source = "python"
+//! strip = true
+//!
+//! [build-system]
+//! requires = ["maturin>=0.14,<0.15"]
+//! build-backend = "maturin"
+//!
+//! [tool.huak]
+//! toolchain = "default"
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This manifest identifies the workspace for the Huak project. It contains metadata about the project, it's authors, build configuration, and config for other tools like maturin. At the bottom is the `[tool.huak]` table (see [PEP 518](https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/#tool-table)).
+//!
+//! ### `[tool.huak]`
+//!
+//! Huak's pyproject.toml implementation needs to expect a tool table, especially Huak's tool table. See:
+//!
+//! - #833
+//! - #814
+//! - #815
+//!
+//! Example:
+//! ```toml
+//! [tool.huak]
+//! toolchain = "3.11.6"
+//! repositories = { package = "url to repo" }  # TODO
+//!
+//! [tool.huak.run]  # TODO: Compare with new project.run table.
+//! hello-world = "python -c 'print('hello, world.')'"
+//!
+//! [tool.huak.workspace]
+//! members = ["projects/*"]
+//! ```
