Correcting a docstring mistake in clojure.core/filter

[Alan Thompson]

Hi Alex - What is the best way to correct a mistake in the docstring for clojure.core/filter? 

The existing docstring is:

​​

Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll for which
(pred item) returns true. pred must be free of side-effects.
Returns a transducer when no collection is provided.

​I would like to correct it to read:

​

Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll for which

(pred item)

​ ​

​

​returns a 

truthy

​ 

value 

(neither false nor nil). pred must be 

free of side-effects.

​ 

Returns a transducer when no collection is provided.

​The need for this is illustrated by a quick check:

> (filter identity [:a 1 true false nil "done"])

(:a 1 true "done")

Opening a ticket on dev.clojure.org, and providing a docstring patch is the standard (and fastest) way to do this.
