1722e4a952 Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not 
mutable!  We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805.

Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap().  Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index.  The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible.  This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.

3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair 
of references that now state that these attributes have been removed,
directing the reader to the dir() function.
This closes SF bug #456420.

descriptors.

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no 
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.

69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get 
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.

ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers: 
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller. 
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
