f308c0f1fc From reading the source, it turns out that the setkey() method can
take an optional string key, but if key is not given, the method does
nothing!  In the rewrite (see upcoming check-in), I left things this
way, but here I document that this is the case.

094579e677 (libtime.tex): Merged in changes from Tamito Kajiyama.
(For those watching Python CVS messages:  I checked in all of
	Tamito's other changes, but the mail delivery failed since the
	subject line was too long.  The patch Tamito sent for the
	documentation has been completely merged in.)

9abe64a395 (libparser.tex): Added note that the line number for a terminal token
indicates the line on which the token ends rather than starts
