Turns out I was wrong about the minimal use case.

This particular problem was just an fdef that was missing a :ret spec.

That seems like a bug in s/explain,  but I think it's a tossup whether
the bug's in the docstring or the implementation.

And I'm not entirely convinced that it's a bug at all. But it's
strange enough to seem worth mentioning/explaining.

Thanks again,
James
