Docsnarfing is something I'd like to see made available (again) for quite some time now. The pieces that implement this for Guile (several scripts and some compiled code) are not currently installed. It was at one time, but removed because of the difficulty in supporting all the platfroms that Guile supports. (If I remember correctly)
I've been (very slowly!) bringing scwm up to date with Guile 1.8. Scwm uses docstrings as heavily as emacs. It would *really* be great to have docsnarfing working again. My currenty plans are to lift the Guile code and inlcude it as part of scwm.
