[issue9391] Allow docstrings on dicts and named tuples outside of functions or classes.

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Thanks for the idea and quick reply. In view of the discussion, I'm going to reject the feature request.  The trade-off in added API complexity isn't worth the benefit especially given that subclassing already provides an option:

class Point(namedtuple('Point', 'x y z')):
    """Planet location with Sun as center point
    and x-axis passing through Alpha Centauri
    and distance measured in light seconds"""

----------
resolution:  -> rejected
status: open -> closed
