Not all console configurations can correctly render smart quotes in help() text. See the "Æ" in "superclass's" below.

When building for pydoc-topics, it would be ideal to disable smart quotes. (I'm assuming from issue31793 that this can be done in configuration, though I'm not entirely sure how - it's not clear to me from those PRs)

*******************

object.__new__(cls[, ...])
...
   Typical implementations create a new instance of the class by
   invoking the superclassÆs "__new__()" method using
   "super().__new__(cls[, ...])" with appropriate arguments and then
   modifying the newly-created instance as necessary before returning
   it.
