Agreed. The only thing important is "what does it conceptually do", and
then maybe some examples. The conceptual behavior is system-agnostic, so
its description is the generic part of the docstring. The system-specific
part doesn't have to be complete since it should just give enough examples
for people to be able to infer the rest.
