Armin Ronacher bf943483c0 attribute documentation now overrides non attribute documentation.
This makes it possible to document aliased methods and other things::

    def foo(self):
        pass

    #: an alias for foo()
    foo_alias = foo

Also attribute documentation can contain paragraphs now.
