Possible audit method for public clojure.core *vars missing doc strings:

(prn
  (let [publics (ns-publics 'clojure.core)
        stared  (filter #(re-find #"^\*" (str (first %))) publics)
        undoced (remove #(:doc (meta (second %))) stared)]
    (map first undoced)))

=> (*compile-path* *ns* *allow-unresolved-vars* *macro-meta* ...

For Vars interned via Java code, there's no original 'def' statement
where docstrings can be added.  Should a block of statments like
following be added to the end of clojure/core.clj ?

(alter-meta! #'*compile-path* assoc :doc
  "Specifies the directory where 'compile' will write out .class
  files.  This directory must be in the classpath for 'compile' to
  work.")

That seems right to me
Comment 5 by Chousuke, Jan 18, 2009
Here is a patch that adds at least *some* documentation for some of the variables.
It's missing a few that I did not know the purpose for, though.
