Do you know of any other implementations allow this?
This sounds really cool... they're basically the old-school
"property lists" for the 21st century.
I wonder if this is also a good place to hang docstrings?

I honestly don't know. What are docstrings hanging off of?
Should they be attached to closure values, lambda expressions,
ordinary variables, special documentation identifiers, or what?
There is no right answer, and the answer is `depends on what
you want to do with them'.
So, what do you want to do with these docstrings?
Well, personally, I don't use them much. :-) But I mentioned them since
they're a part of other lisp systems and folks coming from there might
wonder about the best way to implement them. I've always been curious
about a Scheme approach to help and documentation generally. Many
systems seem to "punt" on the issue.
