https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html

Current descriptor how-to guide, above, has no mention about API features added since Python 3.6 (see __set_name__ in PEP 487)

It's an important and useful piece of using descriptors effectively and the guide could be updated to include some info about that. 

There's some info in datamodel.html (e.g. 3.3.3.6. Creating the class object) but a mention in the how-to guide would be welcome too.
