On protocols:
- doc string coming after the arg vecs seems odd. I'm used to putting
them after the "name" of whatever I'm working on.

On protocols doc:
- "You can implement a protocol on nil ... Object": could you
elaborate on how these work and/or provide examples? I think this will
solve the one problem I was running into earlier.
- "given a protocol my.ns/Protocol, an interface my.ns.MyProtocol":
the final segments don't match.
