I'd suggest that having docstrings in defgenerics is benign, because they don't push meaningful code off the screen (assuming one doesn't use :method). That would tend to confine the objections to documentation strings to ones that attach to method definitions and function definitions. In that case, one could put a (setf documentation) right after the definition in question, so that they wouldn't float away from the code, but wouldn't push the lambda list away from the body of the definition. I assume that, the way they are placed, below the slot definitions, documentation strings for defclass are benign.
Would that be a reasonable compromise?
I could live with that. Also because the majority of the interesting docstrings live in defgenerics and defclasses, anyway. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen
