Following up on #20763, this PR adds support for module- and class-level docstrings, adds "additional docstrings" as described in PEP 257, and fixes function-level docstrings so that only the first string literal in a function gets treated as a docstring.
One question that occurs to me is: Would it be good to capture attribute and additional docstrings differently from regular docstrings? E.g.
@string.doc.attribute,@string.doc.additional? PEP 257 mentions that unlike regular docstrings, these docstrings are ignored by the interpreter (regular docstrings get added as the__doc__property of the object they document), so I can see someone potentially wanting to style them a little differently.Release notes:
