Hi!

Ian Price <ianprice90 <at> googlemail.com> skribis:

The issue is that closures returned by ‘eval’ have no docstring:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (procedure-documentation (eval '(lambda (a b) "doc" a)  (current-module)))
$29 = #f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Trying to fix it now.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
