ECL does not support docstrings for functions created with flet, labels or lambda. Why?

[Alexander Artemenko]

Hi!

I found that:

CL-USER> (let ((foo (lambda () "With docstring" 100500)))
>            (princ (funcall foo))
>            (terpri)
>            (princ (documentation foo t)))
> 100500
> NIL
> NIL


in ECL, but:

CL-USER> (let ((foo (lambda () "With docstring" 100500)))
>            (princ (funcall foo))
>            (terpri)
>            (princ (documentation foo t)))
> 100500
> With docstring
> "With docstring"


Why?

BTW, similar behaviour have ABCL, Allegro and CCL. But SBCL and CLISP work
as expected.
