Thanks @ncoghlan for this work.

This documentation is (currently) shared with importlib_metadata, so we should either back-port these changes to that package or remove this documentation from that package. I'll spend a few minutes seeing if the changes backport in a straightforward way. If not, due to the way code references work, I'll probably opt to remove the docs from the third-party package.

Oh. I just noticed - this change was applied to 3.13 (only). Does that mean this change shouldn't apply to future releases?

Edit: I see now this is a backport of #125027.

Nevermind. I'm reminded that in python/importlib_metadata#466, the docs have been separated. So nothing more to be done.
