Than you might want to give more details about what you've done since
what I understood of what you've done does not result in the error
you showed.

    /usr/bin/emacs -Q
    M-x ielm RET
    (defun ivy-config ()
       (:documentation (concat "Ivy completion.\n\n" ivy-details))
       (add-to-list 'load-path "~/contrib/ivy"))
    RET

complains that "Symbol’s value as variable is void: ivy-details", which
indicates that it understood `:documentation` correctly (i.e. it
processed it when creating the function rather than later when we call
it).
