ooo thanks Tassilo...I knew that the docstring is stored as metadata but I did not know I could mutate it after the binding is set..this is very cool on its own!
As far as IDEs go i will have a look around even though i was quite happy with my minimal setup...I also tend to use clooj when on the road which is steadily getting better...I gave ccw several chances as I was totally in love with eclipse in my java days, but even though I do like the editor and all the clever things it can do, I still cannot get my head round how to work efficiently on the eclipse repl...I specifically remember spawning a new repl every time i was loading a namespace which seemed very odd cos i had to close them all at the end... emacs on the other hand seems more like a religion rather than an editor!!! The thing is my timetable atm does not allow any deviations and it would big deviation if i was to decide to learn emacs any time soon.... thank you both for your precious time and suggestions... cheers!
