New submission from Raymond Hettinger:
I can't see any reason for property docstrings to be readonly:
>>> p = property(doc='basic')
>>> p.__doc__
'basic'
>>> p.__doc__ = 'extended'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#46>", line 1, in <module>
p.__doc__ = 'extended'
AttributeError: readonly attribute
Among other things, making it writeable would simplify the ability to update
the docstrings produced by namedtuple;
Time.mtime.__doc__ = 'modification time'
Score.max = 'all time cumulative high score for a single season'
