I wrote it deliberately, since I felt that documenting an enum type as
"This is the type of the 2nd parameter to some_func()" wouldn't be best
practice either.  The "which see" addendum was intended to convey: "Yes,
this docstring doesn't tell you all of the information a docstring
is expected to convey; instead, that information is behind the
given pointer".

However, I don't feel strongly about it.  Whatever people prefer works for me.
