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.
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 totally different from what Shriram described.

Maybe not packaged for beginners, but it is doable...

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?
