Description

Hello,

A brief request for feedback and a question:

  • What could Sphinx do to make things easier for numpydoc? (If nothing: great!)
  • Are there any parts of numpydoc that it would make sense to be integrated into core Sphinx? For example, improving sphinx.ext.napoleon.

Thanks,
Adam
