[Openmcl-devel] how to show doc strings?

[Gary Byers]

If I understand correctly (I don't use SLIME), the problem is that
C-c C-f just calls DESCRIBE on a function, and OpenMCL's DESCRIBE
doesn't show a function's doc string if it has one.

A (crude) change to do that should be in CVS in a few minutes.
(One way in which it's crude is that it doesn't handle doc strings
that contain newlines very sanely, but that may be better than
not seeing the doc string at all.)
