I am sorry, you are right, of course.

In my libs/code there are always docstrings and doctests/tests, and
most times comments too, like you say. When I post code here I often
strip away part of those things, mostly to reduce the length of my
posts -.- I guess that I have to leave more of that meta-
information...
