Docstrings not recognized

[chbk]

PEP 257

A docstring is a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition.

Can this be incorporated into the grammar?

Designating a string as "a docstring" is not something that'll be done at the level of the parser. It's part of the semantics of the python runtime, but it isn't special syntax. So I don't think we'll make changes to how docstrings are represented in the syntax tree.

Is there a query that could identify class docstrings effectively? I've been poking around a bit, but have not been able to get something to work yet.
