On the flip side, I've always found it useful when debugging at a REPL to be able to read various kinds of metadata about objects, including documentation. Clojure is one example of this, but I wouldn't mind seeing it elsewhere as well.

Hmm, so I'm thinking about cases where you have 10K objects and you wouldn't want the metadata duplicated and attached to all of those. Would that happen in Clojure?
