?
The doc a user sees for a given version should be up-to-date and reflect that
version faithfully. That's all.

If a doc string has changed between versions then the versions should not show
the same doc string (which is the case currently). That's appropriate: the doc
strings for a given version should be up-to-date, reflecting that version.
As I say, perhaps the proposed change will not affect that. Just asking.
