Currently, the sqlite3 module docstring is the old pysqlite copyright comment in the start of Lib/sqlite3/init.py. This is not very helpful to the general user. Suggesting to add a more helpful docstring, a la the 're' or 'array' modules (those two were randomly picked among stdlib modules with helpful docstrings).
