The convention in Guile is to write docstrings like it was initially
written.  The bit you added is redundant with the function prototype,
which tools like Geiser automatically print for yourself.

At the “raw” REPL, you can also view that info:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,a set-record-type-printer!
(srfi srfi-9 gnu): set-record-type-printer!	#<procedure set-record-type-printer! (type proc)>
scheme@(guile-user)> ,d set-record-type-printer!
Set PROC as the custom printer for TYPE.
scheme@(guile-user)> set-record-type-printer!
$9 = #<procedure set-record-type-printer! (type proc)>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you wish, you can submit an updated patch that follows these
conventions.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
