Frank,

Apologies, ClojureScript at the moment is designed with a bit of a bias
towards people to who already know Clojure. This is unfortunate since there
are many people who could use ClojureScript *today* who don't need or want
to invest in Clojure on the JVM.

Because of the bias some obvious things aren't there yet (remember this is a
language that's about 4 months old). Perhaps including docstrings should be
a compiler option which is enabled by default (not compiling in advanced
mode). Perhaps it should also be the default when launching the Rhino based
REPL. I think that including the full set of documentation functions from
Clojure would be big usability win.

Thanks for bringing it up, we'll try to work on it.

David
