    * Check that all function, method and constructor parameters are mentioned
      in the params and types part of the docstring.  Constructor parameters
      can be documented in either the class docstring or ``__init__`` docstring,
      but not both.
    * Check that there are no naming inconsistencies between the signature and
      the documentation, i.e. also report documented parameters that are missing
      in the signature. This is important to find cases where parameters are
      renamed only in the code, not in the documentation.
    * Check that all explicitly raised exceptions in a function are documented
      in the function docstring. Caught exceptions are ignored.

    Activate this checker by adding the line::

        load-plugins=pylint.extensions.docparams

    to the ``MAIN`` section of your ``.pylintrc``.
