New submission from Antony Lee:
subprocess.__doc__ currently contains copies for the docstrings of a bunch of
functions in the module (... but not subprocess.run). The docs for the Popen
class should be moved into that class' docstring. The module's docstring also
mentions the list2cmdline "method" (actually a function, and the qualifier
"method"/"function" is missing the second time this function is mentioned ("The
list2cmdline is designed ...")), but that function doesn't appear in `__all__`
and thus not in the official HTML docs (yes, I know pydoc
subprocess.list2cmdline works).
