[New-bugs-announce] [issue16206] dict() docs should display multiple signatures

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

The documentation for dict() (for both the built-in function and the class constructor) should display multiple signatures as do dict.__doc__ and the documentation for, say, str().

Currently, the dict() documentation just has one signature:

dict([arg])

Something more in line with the docstring would be better, for example:

dict(mapping={})
dict(iterable)
dict(**kwargs)
