Of course–it's good that Clojure does that. :) Along with the fact that it's intuitive, docstrings are in a standardized style to print nicely with (doc):
(defn foo "First line is wrapping around and is indented by two spaces. But this is only because (doc) allows for this, indenting the first line by two too." ...) (doc foo) would then print: foo ([args]) First line is wrapping around and is indented by two spaces. But this is only because (doc) allows for this, indenting the first line by two too." But, as you said, I'd like a way to add folding over when I want it, which is often. I think that backslashes are a good way of doing this without breaking anything. As William said, unfortunately, it would take a little work getting rid of folded lines' indentation. But I personally think it would be well worth it without being too confusing.
