  1. I would still put all possible data-types right after the concat: part.

  2. OCD kicking in here: can we rephrase so that None isn't by itself on that last line?

@h-vetinari : Moving your reply here to the thread:

@gfyoung
It doesn't fit, unfortunately. Otherwise I would have left it there as well.

Current state:
fix_str_cat_doc_curr

Propsed:
fix_str_cat_doc_new

I'm guessing this is mainly due to the docstring parser + linelength-limit; it might work without a line break - I could do a #noqa line, I guess?

  1. The dtype suggestion I made should be do-able on one line.

  2. For these types of issues with a single word on one line, you can try rewriting the whole description e.g.:

If `other` is None, `str` is returned, otherwise `Series / Index` of objects is returned.

We generally try avoid using noqa unless absolutely necessary.
