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

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

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.
