Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but what ipython does is merely give
you the appropriate docstring, in this case the module docstring of
numpy.lib.nanfunctions
(https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/lib/nanfunctions.py#L1-L22).
So you have to know where to look to find it, but it's official.
I believe Chuck's remark of "looks like a module level entry should be
added to the documentation under 'NaN functions
(numpy.lib.nanfunctions)'" suggests exactly to have this information
in the online docs, somewhere at
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/routines.html
