Colin might not be aware of why docstrings are useful, and arbitrary local
variables ds="""docstring""" are not.
def f1():
"""This is my documentation string.
Imagine this has actual useful information.
"""
def f2():
dc = """This is my documentation string.
Imagine this has actual useful information.
"""
