Of course, when a docstring is present (and IMO there should nearly always be a docstring), this is not possible. Does anyone here know why in Clojure it was decided to move the docstring from its traditional-in-Lisp location after the argument list? Perhaps it's just a question of what I'm used to, but it feels very awkward to me. I like to be able to see the arglist while I'm reading the docstring so that I can understand to which arguments it's referring, but in Clojure with a long docstring often times the arglist is not even visible on the screen. -Eli -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
