Would it make sense to think about adding this in the scope of the argument clinic work, or is it too unrelated? This seems like a commonly needed thing for large parts of the stdlib (where the C accelerator overrides Python code).
From my perspective, the C accelerator doesn't override the Python code; the Python code is in charge, and elects to call the C accelerator.
To answer your question, Clinic could help but I think it'd kind of suck. We'd have to use Clinic to preprocess the .py file and copy the docstring there, which would mean slurping in the C file. Clumsy but workable. We can talk about it once I finish the revised implementation, which should make processes like this much easier.
