Hm, then the directive would syntactically have to *precede* the
docstring.  That currently doesn't work -- the docstring may only be
preceded by blank lines and comments.  Lots of tools for processing
docstrings already have this built into them.  Is it worth breaking
them so that editors can remain stupid?
