Allow to dispatch getting documentation on objects. (#13975)...
Allow to dispatch getting documentation on objects. (#13975) Base for #13860, so that object can be queried for documentation on their fields/properties. Typically this allows the following, to extend the doc documentation when requesting information on a field. ```python class DictLike: def __getitem__(self, k): if k.startswith('f'): return "documentation for k" else: raise KeyError class Bar: __custom_documentations__ = DictLike() faz = 1 @property def foo(self): return 1 b = Bar() b.faz? ```

"""Preserve a set of keys in a dictionary.
Upon entering the context manager the current values of the keys
will be saved. Upon exiting, the dictionary will be updated to
restore the original value of the preserved keys. Preserved keys

deleted.
