can anyone answer this question about spec? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure/IPY9YukiLI0

You need to force eval somehow so macro around it, use eval, etc. this is an area where there are more and different answers in spec 2

Is metadata and docstrings on specs considered for spec2? E.g. I’d like to conditionally instrument them based on metadata

yes

it was in scope for spec 1 we just never got to it :)
