An option to hide attribute initial values

[Maboroshy]

I'm writing a library that has limited API exposed to a user. Some of the exposed class attributes may be initially set up by functions that are not part of the exposed API or the values can be changed later during init process. Putting such initial values to documentation is useless and even confusing for a user.

I’d like to have an option to disable rendering of attributes initial values. It would be useful if the option could disable rendering class variables values and attribute values set in __init__ separately.

I've considered using google format docstrings that render to a table/list attribute representation without values but the docstrings are not merged for inherited classes which is crucial for my project.

In the meantime, here's a workaround that seems to work with mypy too:

class A:
    def __init__(self):
        self.a = 0
        
        self.a: int
        """Hello"""

Thanks for a tip! I can live with that while waiting the option implementation.
