Indeed, it's just the first line (traditionally a one line summary per
style).

Hopefully it only prints the first line of the docstring?

For many of us, this isn't a nuisance. It is a desirable feature.
test_xxx functions and methods typically don't have docstrings at all as
the majority of tests tend to be concise and obvious with the function name
itself describes what its purpose is. When we added printing the
docstring, it was

I recall actually really liking the docstring. I think there are situations

past we didn't print the docstring at all and it felt right when it was
added.

This is a bit more out there, but can anyone explain why we show the
docstring at all? As far as I can tell it causes a bunch of confusion
