Agreed that docstrings should be writeable after the fact, though (e.g. functions already work that way - functools.wraps wouldn't work otherwise).
Would this be a very controversial change? I ask because it's been this way since 2.2 and no one's changed it. Thanks.
More likely a matter of nobody needing the functionality enough to question the behaviour (there are a variety of arbitrary restrictions still floating around that don't really have a *reason*, it's just that it was easier to do it that way initially and nobody has cared enough to change it).
