Re: procedure docstrings / documentation

[tantalum]

it is available in procedure properties
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Procedure-Properties.html
i just noticed again that the procedure to get the arguments is 
undocumented.

    Scheme Procedure: procedure-arguments proc
    Scheme Procedure: procedure-documentation proc

there is another way with (system vm program) and 
program-arguments-alist, which also works with procedures
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Compiled-Procedures.html

it can also be useful to get the exports of a module
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Module-System-Reflection.html

   Scheme Procedure: resolve-interface name [#:select=#f] [#:hide='()] 
[#:prefix=#f] [#:renamer=#f] [#:version=#f]

there are more module related procedures that can be found on the repl 
if readline is enabled by typing module- and pressing tab.

it is also possible to extract macro parameters from exported syntax 
transformer procedures.
