Comment(by SimonKing):

 How is the documentation of a class, method etc. actually obtained? There
 is a method  `get_doc` in sage_autodoc.py, but it was not called when I
 expected it.

 Could it by the the work is done by the method `find_attr_docs()` of
 `sphinx.pycode.ModuleAnalyzer`? That would be bad, because certainly it is
 ignorant to methods such as `_sage_doc_()`!

 By consequence, if one has a method that is decorated by a cython class
 (something that I plan for the cached_method decorator) then the
 documentation will be that of the cython class, not that of the decorated
 method.

 So, could it be that we have to replace `sphinx.pycode.ModuleAnalyzer`?
