Using gnuemacs 18.55, I often want to do the following sort of thing:
(defun foo-plus ()
(concat (documentation 'foo) " added some functionality")
;...
)
However, it seems that unless the documentation string is a literal,
emacs does not take it as the documentation.
It is fairly easy to imagine wanting documentation strings depending on
some run-time variable such as the machine or window-system type, in
which case hardwiring the string would not be appropriate at all.
Does anyone know of any way around this problem?

If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever
to get a "fix" of something, to its own detriment, then I would conclude
that netnews is far more addictive than cocaine.
