Consider the following minimal example:

    class readonlyprop:
        __init__ = lambda self, func: None
        __get__ = lambda self, inst, cls=None: None

    class C:
        def bar(self):
            pass
        @readonlyprop
        def foo(self):
            pass
        def quux(self):
            pass

the output of `pydoc modname.C` is

    <... cropped ...>
    modname.C = class C(builtins.object)
    |  Methods defined here:
    |  
    |  bar(self)
    |  
    |  foo = None
    |  quux(self)
    |  
    |  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    |  Data descriptors defined here:
    <... cropped ...>

It would be nice if
1. a newline was added after `foo = None`, and
2. foo was *also* marked as being a non-data-descriptor of class readonlyprop (basically what you'd get without invoking the __get__).
