bug: Single underscore methods are not filtered out in 0.28.0

[hugovk]

Description of the bug

https://mkdocstrings.github.io/python/usage/configuration/members/#filters says:

The default value (["!^_[^_]"]) means: render every object, except those starting with one underscore, unless they start with two underscores. It means that an object whose name is hello, __hello, or hello will be rendered, but not one whose name is _hello.

This is the case with mkdocstrings 0.27.0, where single underscored methods are not included, but starting in 0.28.0 (and the latest 0.28.2), they are included.

To Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/python-humanize/humanize
cd humanize
edit docs/requirements.txt # change to mkdocstrings[python]==0.27.0 or mkdocstrings[python]==0.28.0
rm -rf site; tox -r -e docs && open site/time/index.html

With 0.28.0:

• https://hugovk-humanize--1.org.readthedocs.build/en/1/time/
• Pin mkdocstrings to 0.28.0 hugovk/humanize#1

Expected behavior

With 0.27.0:

• https://hugovk-humanize--2.org.readthedocs.build/en/2/time/
• Pin mkdocstrings to 0.27.0 hugovk/humanize#2

Thanks for the report @hugovk, I was able to confirm. I forgot to apply the default filters as a default value to the relevant field in one of the dataclasses. Will be fixed in next release 🙂

Great, thanks for the quick fix!
