I'm guessing the answer to this is that I'd have to write my own 'defn' 
equivalent that would parse a form rather than requiring a string, but 
here's hoping.

One of the things I did in Common Lisp was to occasionally compute the 
docstring for a function with a little function that formatted them the way 
I wanted them.

e.g.

(defun foo (bar)
  #.(docstring "some text to be made into a docstring for foo"
               "some more text to be formatted as part of the docstring of 
foo")
   ...


There's no #. equivalent that I know of in clojure, so that approach is out.

I also can't do a 

(def docstring "abc")
(defn foo docstring [] 'bar)

or an error crops up.   

Is there any alternative I'm missing short of writing my own macro to allow 
non-string forms for docstrings?
