It's still unclear to me what a file containing a single docstring
followed by a def() line means. And this ambiguity doesn't seem
to be solvable, so I'm a solid -1 on this change.

(In addition, I should note that I tried editing a moderate sized
file to put the docstrings before the defs - to my eyes, it made 
the file more cluttered and much less pleasing to the eye)
