It's not enabled by default because it doesn't fully work. It can
connect to an AP, get an IP address and do a host-lookup, but not yet do
send or recv on a socket.
Biggest part of this support is refactoring mp_obj_class_lookup() to return
standard "bound member" pair (mp_obj_t[2]). Actual support of inherited
native methods is 3 lines then. Some inherited features may be not supported
yet (e.g. native class methods, native properties, etc., etc.). There may
be opportunities for further optimization too.
Decided to write own script to pull documentation from comments in C code.
Style for writing auto generated documentation is: start line with ///
and then use standard markdown to write the comment. Keywords
recognised by the scraper begin with backslash. See code for examples.
Running: python gendoc.py modpyb.c accel.c adc.c dac.c extint.c i2c.c
led.c pin.c rng.c servo.c spi.c uart.c usrsw.c, will generate a HTML
structure in gendoc-out/.
gendoc.py is crude but functional. Needed something quick, and this was
it.
This implements checking of base types, allocation and basic initialization,
and optimized support for special method lookups. Other features are not yet
supported.
Of course, keywords are turned into lexer tokens in the lexer, so will
never need to be interned (unless you do something like x="def").
As it is now, the following on pyboard makes no new qstrs:

pyb.info()
