I expected a code smell response, but I simply don't agree with that. I believe peoples approach to doc strings are as varied as people are. I tend to be specific and want to add more context (do not read 'more content') in my doc string(s) than others might, but at the same time it's not like there's a shortage of poorly documented code in the world. So maybe we should consider other people's approach too. A simple solution might be to put the doc-string before the name:
i.e. Instead of: defmulti the-name multi-fn use: defmulti "brevity matters in a doc-string" the-name multi-fn Or (defn "doc-string" ([x]...) "doc-string" ([x y] ...)) Or is there a reason not to consider adding this? Cheers, Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
