summary:

Clarify that discutils.(plat)include is for CPython's headers (GH-29578)

Change the docs to note that "include" and "platinclude" are
for CPython's headers, and not necessarily for headers of
third-party libraries.

See discussion in: https://discuss.python.org/t/clarification-on-a-wheels-header-data/9305/19
