[issue44623] help(open('/dev/zero').writelines) gives no help

It does for me:

>>> help(open("nul").writelines)
Help on built-in function writelines:

writelines(lines, /) method of _io.TextIOWrapper instance
    Write a list of lines to stream.

    Line separators are not added, so it is usual for each of the
    lines provided to have a line separator at the end.

This is Windows, Python 3.9. What version did you get the problem with? If it's older, I'd say the problem has likely since been fixed.
