Some examples would be:

* Pydoc does not generate documentation from stub files
* Jupyter Notebooks don't show documentation from stub files (when using its 
shift+tab)

There is a better way to grasp this problem. Consider you are developing some 
big library with stub files. .pyi files contain more function definitions than 
.py because some definitions are generated. So it is natural to write 
docstrings in .pyi files, just like we do in C++ .h files. The problem is there 
is no PEP or some other piece of Python documentation which states that is OK 
to write docstrings in .pyi files.
