Hmmm. Yes, it's central, but a lot of the rest of it works with pydoc -
I can see why this particular use case doesn't, but I'll take a looksee
tomorrow incase there is an easy solution (I don't think there is, I
think Raphael is spot on...)

Patching pydoc for a specific library isn't really a choice. Very messy
and would end up with pydoc having far too many overrides.
