I really like Clojure, but as a complete n00b on Lisp languages, it is
frustrating that I many times have to hunt high and low for
documentation on basic stuff.
Recently I saw a code snippet that showed that reduce takes an
optional initial value, something I didn't know. When I see something
new,

Ruby is an example of a language that does have some examples in the
referenc
Silly me. I forgot about (doc …).
Thanks for the answers. Well, it's good there is documentation, pity
it's all over the place.

Ah. IMHO, computer help us solving problems which we wouldn't have withou

You can find a lot of examples using http://github.com/defn/walton
For example you can point your browser at
http://getclojure.org:8080/examples/reduce
for reduce examples.

Is it necessary to have >250 examples for a function which has
effectively five variations?

Nice, Mike. I stole your work and put it into the Wiki I created to
see how it fit:
http://clojure-examples.appspot.com/clojure.core/reduce
(Note: reduce seems to be missing a doc string in 1.2 master; for
other functions doc strings show up.)
As cool as walton is, it's kind of a firehose. A cur

I've integrated your suggestions into the wiki's guidelines:

Feel free to add anything else that needs mentioning. There's also a
talk page for discussion.
