Funny you should ask that now! I am in the process of adding a "comma
command" so that ,(h X) will open a browser with the definition of X
in gambit-c.html . By clicking on the function name in the browser
you will navigate to the page which documents X on the wiki. Once you
are on the wiki you can add comments, examples, corrections to X's
definition.
That should be available in the next release.
