Well, that's nothing special wrt. higher-order functions, but a
limitation when you define functions with `def`. E.g.,
(def my-function (fn [x y]))
doesn't have :arglists metadata, too.
But since you have to add the docstring by hand anyway, I don't think
that's much of an issue:
(def ^{:doc "Applies my-function to 10 and y."
:arglists '([y])}
my-partial-function (partial my-function 10))
