Up to apparently python 3.5, using help('signal') used to show the 'signal.signal' function among others, now it's not in the list, while of course help('signal.signal') does work, it was reported to me to still be the case in 3.6a1.

The conversion of the module from a pure python module to a mixed module apparently caused a number of changes to the pydoc output.  This should be addressed to make the pydoc output complete, even if it still different in detail.

This is due to use functools.wraps(). If __all__ is not defined all non-builtin functions should have correct __module__ to be displayed by pydoc. functools.wraps() assigns __module__, __name__, __qualname__, __doc__ and __annotations__. __module__ should be preserved ('signal', not '_signal'), __name__ and __qualname__ are already correct, __annotations__ does not exist. So only __doc__ should be copied.
