I like that what I see in the tip is the original doc string I would get if I 
typed (doc some-symbol) in a REPL session.  If those doc strings change in 
later versions of Clojure, I can rerun my cheatsheet generator program and pick 
up all those changes in seconds.

If you want to write a quick precis for what are now 633 symbols with links on 
the cheatsheet, you are welcome to do it.  I don't want to.  The source code 
for the cheatsheet generator is under the Eclipse Public License and available 
to you:
