0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

1aec3a16f3 Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.
