Is it possible to document fields in an entry in clojure?

Question

For example:

(defrecord Contract [^{:doc "primary identifiers..."} contract-id])

But this does not work:

 (doc Contract) clojure.lang.Cons cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol [Thrown class java.lang.ClassCastException]

Perhaps you can’t document the record fields?

defrecord compiles the new class and uses these names as the fields of this class. Unlucky classes precede clojure and leave no room for metadata :(

  The class will have the (immutable) fields named by
 fields, which can have type hints.
