<sneek>chrislck: Greetings :)

<sneek>Yey! dsmith is back

<dsmith>sneek, botsnack

<tonyg>benjaminl: Oh sorry, I didn't mean they were always substitutable. For real errors and access to the debugger and edit-and-continue etc, there's no real substitute! I meant that resumable exceptions are sometimes used in Smalltalk as a substitute (or implementation substrate) for *parameters*.

<cow_2001>is there any way of adding a docstring to a macro?

<wingo>yes

<wingo>if it is a procedural macro, as a docstring of the transformer lambda

<wingo>if syntax-rules, docstring after the keywords iirc

<wingo>harder to get the docstring tho, you need to use the first-class module system to get the binding, recognize it's a macro, and extract the transformer

<wingo>ah actually object-documentation does the right thing, once you have the macro value

<wingo>from (ice-9 documentation)
