According to some early documentation:
"convenient initialization of the |__doc__| attribute of modules,
classes and functions by placing a string literal by itself as the first
statement in the suite. It must be a literal -- an expression yielding a
string object is not accepted as a documentation string, since future
tools may need to derive documentation from source by parsing."
