The official rule is that if *any* string is the first line of a 
function/etc, it is considered a docstring. It's just standard 
convention to use the triple quotes for docstrings. As you mentioned, 
you can use triple quotes for any string; likewise, you can use standard 
quotes ( ' or " ) for docstrings as well.
