You would probably need your macros to generate > alter-var-root forms to add the metadata. So, in the end, I did a combination of the two. I've used Robert Hooke to hook the print-doc function -- hooking doc directly doesn't work as it's a macro; so even running macroexpand forces the hook, which didn't seem ideal. My hook then places the docstring onto the var before. Not ideal, as things like apropos or find-doc are still not going to work; but then these are limited for larger namespaces. I already have 50,000 symbols in one namespace, and string matching is just not going to cut it. Thanks anyway for the help. Much appreciated.
