[iterate-devel] 2 questions

Hi,

I have two questions about iterate.

# asdf-installs into site/ root -- correct?

I just asdf-installed iterate as well as many a few other packages into 
a fresh installation of sbcl (0.9.10.37), choosing at the prompts to 
ignore gpg checks (gpg not installed) and install to system-wide 
directories.

When I looked in my site/ directory, I found that iterate has placed its 
files directly in the site/ root rather than creating a subdirectory for 
itself like every other package.

Is that how iterate is supposed to behave, or is this a configuration 
problem in its asdf packaging?

# docstring

I was wondering if others would be in favor of beefing up the docstrings 
and online help facility within iterate. Right now there's only 
(display-iterate-clauses), which let's you see all the docstrings but 
those docstrings are too short to help much. If I made a patch that 
added more to those docstrings, including small examples, so you could 
find the right syntax from the repl without opening a pdf viewer, would 
people support merging that into the package?

thanks,
alexis
