Hello

This is a recurrent problem with Python functions implemented in C. Since 
introspection is not possible, developers have to use the first line of the 
docstring to write the signature, including default arguments. With your patch, 
people can’t rely on IDE tooltips that display introspected signature + first 
line of docstring anymore.

The ideal right fix would be for C functions to support introspection, e.g. 
with PEP 362.

Regards
