It's an OK feature, but it has the disadvantage that it doesn't tell you
that the binding you see might be different in a different context.  in
many cases you'd rather have a docstring that tells you "in this context
does foo, elsewhere does bar", or at least "here does foo because it's
in a context that happens to have such and such property".
