[Sbcl-devel] SBLC docstrings

[William B. <doc...@gm...>]

In my current SBCL (0.9.11) there are a bunch of symbols in the :CL
package that have no documentation:

(let ((docs 0)
      (total 0))
  (do-external-symbols (s :cl)
    (incf total)
    (if (some #'identity (mapcar (lambda (type) (documentation s type))
                                 '(compiler-macro function method-combinati=
on
                                  setf structure type variable)))
        (incf docs)))
  (format t "~A symbols found, ~A with documentation~%" total docs))

=3D> 978 symbols found, 668 with documentation

Some of the undocumented symbols are fairly basic things like
READ-LINE, MAKE-ARRAY, etc.

If I was to make patches to fill in the gaps, would this be useful to
people other than myself and potentially get included in future
releases?  Or are the omissions deliberate for some reason that I've
overlooked?

Cheers,
Bill.
