1abf0df5b4 Simple documentation of the copy_reg module.
Guido, you should probably look at this.  The pickle documentation is out of
date; I don't see anything about the __reduce__() stuff or the
__safe_for_unpickling__ attribute.

a46f84d293 Added index entry and \label{} for exceptions module. This isn't in the
normal modules portion of the manual, but that's the basic effect of this
section with the 1.5 change in exception support.

it already got it right.

fd49a964bc Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType.  In example
for type().

cf7e830869 Add module reference for cPickle to index.
Consistency:  Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.

Consistency:  Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.

Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP".  I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.
