Remove, it's better not to have a docstring than to have one
that doesn't document anything, (checkdoc-current-buffer t)
will also tell you that one is formally incorrect.

If the list of X-Strings are associated with the names, it is
better to have a function that does one such item, so that
would be called like this, probably

  (x-name-item "Peter" 3 5)

then to do the whole table for each line there would be one
such call.

So the semantics of what you are doing is implemented
in/enforced by the code that actually does the work, as well,
if you will ...
