Yes. This is positive reinforcement for writing meaningful, standardised
docstrings for every code object (module, class, function): the
docstring is automatically available for browsing at the interactive
prompt, in the context of the object itself.

The flip side is: the documentation available there is only as good as
the documentation that has been written as a docstring for that object.

Encourage authors of libraries you use to maintain and improve their
docstrings :-)
