pprint.pp doesn't document the addition of expand

Documentation

If you look at the docs, you have no way of knowing that expand was only added in Python 3.15.

The pprint.PrettyPrinter class has:

Changed in version 3.4: Added the compact parameter.

Changed in version 3.8: Added the sort_dicts parameter.

Changed in version 3.10: Added the underscore_numbers parameter.

Changed in version 3.11: No longer attempts to write to sys.stdout if it is None.

Changed in version 3.15: Added the expand parameter.

These parameters were all added to the pprint.pp function as well, but none are listed underneath it.

Should we repeat these under ppprint.pp? (Although pp was added in 3.8 so the first two don't apply.)

I think that would be clearest, you have to jump to pp anyway to read their meaning.

Okay, would you like to open a PR for this?
