The received wisdom in most programming circles is that comments should
explain intent, rather then simply transliterating the code into a human
language (eg, English).  For example, comments like this are discouraged:

  (def a 42)    ;; Define a to be 42.

However, as a Clojure noob, I would _love_ to have a tool that explains
even the syntactic level of an arbitrary piece of Clojure code.  If it
could use metadata from (say) function definitions to go deeper, so much
the better.

I Googled around but didn't find anything very close.  Might anyone know
of any efforts in this direction?
