Yeah, that was interesting. ;)

I think there are two different, yet related, issues:

  - which __doc__ should help display?

  - how should __doc__ be inherited?

The issue we should deal with here is the first, as what help displays does not have to follow the exact same rules as inheritence and magic-method lookup; specifically, help should be free to look for a __doc__ on the instance and incorporate it.
