I'm using multimethods to parse command line commands and their arguments.
(defmulti run (fn [command args] command))
(defmethod run :default
[& _]
...)
^{:args "[command]"}
(defmethod run "help"
[_ & [args]]
"Display command list or help for a given command"
...)
^{:args ""}
(defmethod run "version"
[_ & [args]]
"Print program's version"
...)
(defn -main
[& args]
(run (first args)
(next args)))
When I try to access the docstring for a specific method, clojure raises an exception:
(doc ((methods run) "help"))
ClassCastException clojure.lang.PersistentList cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol clojure.core/find-ns (core.clj:3996)
Is it possible to set a docstring on a specific method and get it in the code later?
