Use `deftogether':

 @deftogether[(
 @defform[(!integer id)]
 @defform[(!integer* expr)]
 )]{

    Similar to @scheme[!procedure] and @scheme[!procedure*] for  
  integers.}


That's why `defform*' requires a singe identifier: I realized that we
want the more general `deftogether' before I got around to extending
`defform*'.
