Comment (by pv):

 Some work was done to clear this up:

 #documenting-classes

 It would seem OK to me to copy the docstring automatically, but only if
 the functionality of the derived function is exactly the same as that in
 the base class. Otherwise, it might be better, for maintainability, to
 write a new docstring referring to the original function, eg.
