of course you can...just add a :doc key in the record's meta :)
The OP is correct. He says "why can't I document a record type with a
docstring", rather than "why can't I add directly to the metadata of the
symbol".
Consistency is always good; in the ideal world all def* forms should
have a docstring. Being able to do privacy (defn vs defn-) would be nice
also.
defmethod
definterface
defstruct
deftype

Ok my bad...for a second there I thought that a defrecord expression
returns a Var but it doesn't. It returns a Class object. You can't put
anything on that therefore 'doc' won't work on it anyway. It is the
instance of that Class that is able to take meta data. I concur that
consistency is good to have. apologies for the rushed response.
