Description
A question at StackOverflow asks where it is documented that self.kwargs is set, and although it is mentioned for example in the Built-in class-based generic views section, it does not appear in the documentation of the Base views nor in the documentation for the .setup(..) method.
Perhaps the documentation regarding base views should explain what setup is doing?

I agree we could be clear in the docs here - would you like to prepare a patch?

Seems reasonable, yes.
