That one did not work, it was demonstration that it does not work.
And here again the solution which does work:
(defvar my-doc "Hello there")
(defmacro my-fun ()
`(defun my-fun ()
,my-doc
(ignore)))
To define function run: (my-fun) ⇒ my-fun
(documentation 'my-fun) ⇒ "Hello there"
Funny, as to define the function one defines macro that
overwrites itself by the function calling the macro first time.
