Remove Numpy*Domains?
From #134:
Some tracing tells me that wrap_mangling_directives results in NumpyPythonDomain's directives being used to handle py:class, py:function, etc. I find it hard to believe that that's the intention.
Do these domains remain relevant? I can't see any reference to them in the numpy or scipy repositories currently. I see that @pv commented on their likely irrelevance in 2012.
Yes, probably the self.directives dictionary should be copied.
If you want to write documentation in numpydoc syntax using the sphinx .. function:: way instead of getting them from docstrings via autodoc, then a separate domain is the solution. I don't know if they are used in the wild, but on the other hand supporting them is not that expensive.
Do you think that's what's happening? It's overwriting the base directives?
If there were tests for this, I'd be better assured when trying that change... :\
