Well, I haven't worked with boost or any other extension class that
defines a subclass of property.  If MyProp is such a subclass, would
print Fro.baz.__doc__ print "Get a baz" in 2.6.2 but raise an error in
2.6.3/4, or would it print None?

Regardless of which one it does, I think there is a better fix than
patching the original patch in this issue, assuming I can code it and
get approval to apply it.

On the other hand, the suggested 'refix' may be appropriate for 2.6.5.
