[SciPy-Dev] scipy stats: doc strings of discrete distributions

Hopefully you don't mind that I try to keep topics separated by
sending separated mails.

I noticed that the implementation of the doc strings differ for
rv_continuous and rv_discrete.  rv_continuous implementations look
like

class expon_gen(....):
   """
   docs...
   """
   def _rvs(...)

expon = expon_gen(....)


On the other hand, binom looks like

class binom_gen(rv_discrete):
    def _rvs(self, n, p):

binom = binom_gen(name='binom',shapes="n, p",extradoc="""

Binomial distribution
"""

Any objections against moving the extra doc and make the discrete
distributions look more like the continuous ones?
