Well, I'm predicting that when a standard object system becomes available,
people
will make a lot more use of it. And you WOULD need to repeat the signature
in the case of OO functions (which I agree is painful). It would be nice if
 the
standard documentation method was similar to the OO one.

Something like a keyword might be nice. (define :doco "something" (foo bar)
 ...)
