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.

773d9f09be Document function attributes for both the function type and the method
type.  The method documentation also includes a new brief discussion
of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is
a TypeError.  Includes Skip's suggested text.

0b4e25d0c0 Use \obindex{...} instead of \indexii{...}{type} in many places; this is
more consistent with other index entries in the documentation.

1349437e4c When referring to namespaces, always say "namespaces" instead of
"name spaces".

66571cc20c Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).

512bb72fb0 As pointed out by Denis S. Otkidach <den@analyt.chem.msu.ru>, xrange()
returns an xrange object, not a range object, despite the name of the
source file they're implemented in.

In the list of comparison operators, list != before <>, since <> is
described as obsolescent.

107b9679c4 Document the range type, as suggested by Denis S. Otkidach

Small markup nits elsewhere.
