In the being-aware-of-your-competitors category:
I was sitting in the first TSRJ lecture this morning, and Kathi was introducing
the notion of the purpose statement. One teacher in the audience raised her
hand, and asked whether DrRacket had a python-like feature where users could
query the sys
Python apparently has a feature where you essentially put the
contract/purpose in the text of a function, and when you type the
function's name, it prints out that documentation. (It sounds like
the docstrings of Common Lisp.)
This came up on day 1, minute 15 of the TSRJ workshop.

Yes, when I taught "HtDP" in Python two years ago, this feature was handy. It
provide a more convenient way for recalling/looking up contract/purpose
statements right in the REPL than opening a search in a browser. If I remember
correctly, I think the IDE might have also done something smart wit

While I have always liked doc strings in Lisps -- and koodos to Python for
copying another feature from Lisp -- is it as critical to HtDP programming as
built-in check-expect with coverage? (No but I think having it would be nice.)

Sure, but if we have the manpower/energy for this, then it would be
nice to have, no? (We'd probably do something syntactically and not
via runtime values, but the essential idea seems like it would carry
over.)

Is it a good idea to adapt PLT-Scheme implementation of srfi41 to Racket?
In principle, this is trivial.
However, when I adapted srfi41 for PLT-Scheme, Eli Barzilay advised me not to
double the code for promises.
I did not follow his advice.
I now intend to follow his advice.

That's the question. Packaged for beginners; always there, never to ask for.

Yes, but Racket docstrings aren't even there at all (yet :))...

This is a pointless exchange that misses the reason for its initiation.
Attendee: "Here's a nice feature that I find awfully useful. How do I
get it in DrRacket?"

If you had read the very next sentence of my original message, you'd
have seen this line from me:
