I understand that defrecord can't take a docstring (see "Doc string for 
variables and record" in this group), and I have learned that record types 
are somewhat odd beasts.  I know that there are workarounds 
(http://clojure-log.n01se.net/date/2010-10-03.html).  

Still, I'm surprised.  *Why* can't I document a record type with a 
docstring?  

It seems like extremely useful coding practice to provide a docstring for a 
type.  Even if the underlying semantics would be weird and special-cased, 
well, that's already true for record types.
