Before evaluating your function, do

  (describe-function #'function)

But it seems you cannot do

  (describe-function #'#')

However

  (describe-function (function function))

is fine :)

Yes:

(defun describe-me ()
  (describe-function #'describe-me) )

(defun recurse-you (n)
  (if (not (zerop n))
    (+ n (recurse-you (1- n)))
    n) )
