Hello.

What is the right way to display namespace docstrings?

One day, as usual, I typed:

(doc 'clojure.core) ; or other namespace

Then the REPL said "clojure.lang.Cons cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol."
I thought "Ah, I know, the message means "(quote clojure.core) cannot
be cast to the symbol clojure.core." I'm wrong." and typed:

(doc clojure.core)

Then the REPL said "ClassNotFoundException clojure.core."
I thought "Indeed, clojure.core seems to be an class name...
Precisely, can (doc) display namespace docstrings?" and typed:

(source doc)

Oh, (doc) uses (find-ns), so (doc) should display namespace docstrings. But how?
Finally I wrote (:doc (meta (the-ns 'clojure.core))) but I know this
is a wrong way.
When I forget this ad-hoc solution, I'll repeat above.

I determined to ask it because I have repeated again just now and I'm annoyed.
Any thought?

Thanks.
