It does work.  So now I can pass a variable as documuntation.

The next thing is to first write a brief description as a normal string
- as normally done with defun, then append the detail string after that.

(defvar detail "this is a detailed description")

(defun myfun (x)
  (:documentation (concat "Brief\n" detail))
  (+ x 42))

This is working.  Would you be satisfied with the approach?
