Hi Alex - What is the best way to correct a mistake in the docstring for
clojure.core/filter?

The existing docstring is:

​​
Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll for which
(pred item) returns true. pred must be free of side-effects.
Returns a transducer when no collection is provided.

​I would like to correct it to read:

​
Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll for which
(pred item)
​ ​
​
​returns a
truthy
​
value
(neither false nor nil). pred must be
free of side-effects.
​
Returns a transducer when no collection is provided.


​The need for this is illustrated by a quick check:

> (filter identity [:a 1 true false nil "done"])
(:a 1 true "done")
