>>> help(list.__new__)
Help on built-in function __new__:
__new__(*args, **kwargs) method of builtins.type instance
Create and return a new object. See help(type) for accurate signature.
'list.__new__(' currently pops up just the docstring. I think adding (*args,
**kwargs) on top of it does not hurt and maybe is a slight improvement, as it
explains the second line a bit. In any case, explicitly calling __new__ and
__init__ is extremely rare, especially for beginners.
For rexep.sub, adding (repl, string, count=0) on top of "Return the string
obtained by replacing the leftmost non-overlapping occurrences o..." is a pure
win. Wrapping the too-long docstring line is a separate matter.
