Chris Jerdonek added the comment:

I don't think it was ever a requirement of docstrings that their signature fit 
on one line or that they render fully in IDLE.  Other built-in functions have 
multi-line signatures going back 10+ years (e.g. 32e7d0898eab).

I still think that the rendering of multi-line signatures should be considered 
separately.  The discussion and issues are different, and people may have 
different opinions.  For example, why not be smarter about detecting the end of 
the signature (e.g. first line not having "->")?  Would you object to creating 
a new issue?
