Darn - it would have been a really simple solution.
I'm not against having them as properties - the issue is the duplication
you see, e.g.
```
_maxIter = Param(Params._dummy(), "maxIter", "max number of iterations (>=
0).", typeConverter=TypeConverters.toInt)
maxIter = property(lambda x: x._maxIter, doc="Param maxIter, max number of
iterations (>= 0).")
```
Not sure if @jkbradley / @davies has other thoughts or ideas on the
property issue? It just seems like a large-ish change for perhaps not that much
benefit.
The other option is just to restore the previous doc behavior we had of
including the `_init_` doc string in the class doc. I'm not sure if a version
change of sphinx changed default behavior, but it appears we can restore it by
adding this line to `conf.py`: `autoclass_content = 'both'`.
It's not ideal but it takes us back to what we had before, and at least the
defaults for each param are fairly clearly documented in that way.
