+  ``True`` by default. It can also be a dict mapping names of classes to
+  boolean values (missing keys are treated as ``True``).
+  For example, ``defaultdict(lambda: False, {'mymod.MyClass': True})``
+  would only show inherited class members for ``MyClass``, whereas
+  ``{'mymod.MyClass': False}`` would show inherited class members for all
+  classes except ``MyClass``. Note that disabling this for a limited set of
+  classes might simultaneously require the use of a separate, custom
+  autosummary class template with ``:no-inherited-members:`` in the
