Sorry, something went wrong.
This ensures that `help(np.dtype)` produces a result. I am not exactly sure why it picks up `__doc__` from the dict instead of `tp_doc` right now. It probably is due to the combination of inheritance and the fact that the dict always includes `None` and gets preference during inheritance. (That probably makes a lot of sense to not inherit the `type` docstring by default.) Modifying the dictionary directly is not really good style, either, but hopefully works. Closes numpygh-18740
