It's a fair question. I certainly do not see any harm, but potentially 
there is no benefit either -- are there any situations that the unclear 
encoding of a docstring could cause us problems?

If not and people would rather not add these, I can modify the test in 
find_unadorned_strings.py to exclude docstrings (i.e. strings starting 
with ' """ ' the line after a def).

Thoughts?
