__doc__ no longer contains the traitlets help string for reference type traitlets (Dict, List, ...)

[consideRatio]

https://github.com/jupyterhub/autodoc_traits is a project that help generate documentation for sphinx by inspecting traitlets. Since #818 was merged and released in 5.10.0, it has experienced issues detecting traitlets help strings via a __doc__ attribute for some traitlet types.

Specifically the help string is no longer found in __doc__ attribute of the traitlet types Dict, List, Instance, and Command traitlets, but it still is found for the traitlet types Bool, Integer, Unicode. Maybe this is relating to reference/value type differences?

I've opened jupyterhub/autodoc-traits#55 about it, but since I'm unsure if its a bug in this project or autodoc_traits at this point, I'm opening this issue as well for now.

I tried the autodoc test suite with traitlets@5.10.0 and was able to reproduce the failures. With 5.10.1 all the tests pass:

======================================== 16 passed in 6.05s ========================================
