In Scheme, the code describes the process of computation, and only the
process of computation. This leaves Scheme implementations free to
experiment with different, richer solutions for documenting code than
embedding text in the code as a literal string datum. Since you're
posting to plt-scheme, you'll hear here about PLT Scheme's work to that
end. Some Scheme implementations do support traditional docstrings --
Guile comes to mind.
