Description

Due to how function docstrings are output by the ClojureScript compiler, the use of

*/

within a docstring causes the compiler to produce invalid JavaScript, breaking compilation, since '*/' will close the docstring's JavaScript comment block and the remaining docstring text will be uncommented as a result.

I didn't realize JIRA treats asterisks as markup, so just for clarification: the characters that produce the defect are slash asterisk, ie JavaScript's block comment closing syntax.
