[issue42414] unable to document fields of dataclass

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

@property has a place to attach the docstring, dataclasses in general do not. I wouldn't want to add a descriptor just to have the ability to add a docstring. There are performance issues involved, and I'm sure some corner cases where functionality would change.

Maybe if you bring this up on python-ideas you can get some more ideas.
