Should this be a Sphinx cross-reference? Seems like it shouldn't; I wouldn't think module.__test__ is a valid cross-ref target within the Python docs.

It refers to the attribute module.__test__ that was added in this PR as well: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/134919/files#diff-035fbece7e3400413ea9a79196a2e96e0d6c9b5ed92ab8f5285c0600f7d325caR314.

Ah, interesting, I see how that's set up now, thanks.
Isn't this an "off-label" (no pun intended) use of attribute, though? I would expect this to be implemented using a label. It seems odd that an attribute would link to something other than the API docs for (in this case) what would be module.__test__.
I see the benefit here, in that it results in __test__ being monospace-formatted. But it seems like a semantic mismatch to me.

We can say that this attribute may or may not exist, and dunder names are technically reserved for the language so I'm ok with this.

Makes sense, I'm good with it.

Yet one benefit is adding "__test__ (module attribute)" in the index.
