stubgen: combine `--include-docstrings` and typeshed
Feature
Run stubgen --include-docstrings -p $STDLIB_PACKAGE --typeshed (?) or some other way and have it generate a stub that has the same syntax as the typeshed with docstrings included.
Pitch
Right now, stubgen --include-docstrings -p builtins generates
…
class str:
…
def strip(self, *args, **kwargs):
"""Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead."""
…
whereas using the typeshed annotations it might instead look like
class str(Sequence[str]):
…
@overload
def strip(self: LiteralString, chars: LiteralString | None = None, /) -> LiteralString:
"""Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead."""
@overload
def strip(self, chars: str | None = None, /) -> str: # type: ignore[misc]
"""Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead."""

Apologies
I'm new to the mypy project, so please feel to close this if it is out of scope or if I have misunderstood your aim with stubgen. My particular use case is using this in pyright to get proper stdlib stub docstrings; it imports these from typeshed whose stubs don't include docstrings. (See typeshed discussion here.)
