That doesn't actually make a docstring, though. It makes a string object and
points the name ds at it. Do you know what a docstring is?
def foo():
"""I am a docstring"""
pass
def bar():
ds = "I am not a docstring!"
def baz():
"I am a docstring too!"
pass
def qux():
'And even me! Quote type don't matter (besides style)'
pass
