Id even say __doc__foo should accept any Java Object.  It appers that there is also a bug in the code where it does all these checks to determine if it should set the doc and then goes ahead and tries to set it anyway.  The result is if its not a PyString it causes a ClassCastException.  The patch removes that and makes any Object(even null) acceptable.

Test class:
public class TestDoc{


    public static String __doc__doIt ="HI";
    public void doIt(){}


    public void doIt2(){}

}

Looks useful, we should support this functionality.

I cannot find the original email - the link to activestate cited has long ago disappeared.

As of https://github.com/jythontools/jython/commit/2a68fb90591556d0abafe211a9cc2067a8a74585 anything that implements java.lang.CharSequence is accepted as __doc__foo (As of https://github.com/jythontools/jython/commit/5822a827cfcca9a0af4c427cd672a32d968ee8f4 PyBaseString and thus also PyString and PyUnicode implement CharSequence as well.).
