04307ce789 Rewrote the section on sys.exit(), documenting other argument types 
than integers and recommending sys.exit("message").
(I see this as Python's answer to Perls ``die "message";''.)

afd974c2ab Document the new list.extend() method. Interesting enough, the 
canonical definition of extend() is very similar to append() except
that the former doesn't list-ify the argument!

42db27fedc Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that 
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
    exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
    when the main line of the program resumes execution.  Is this guaranteed
    in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?

Also fixed a typo.
