a7d608d1cf "Thin" version of floor division docs: add // to the list of operators

8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions

9079164bdf Removed unnecessary section "Unicode literals"; all the discussion is
already present in the "String literals" section, including comments on
the "u" prefix and the additional escape sequences used for Unicode.

This relates to SF bug #442526.

cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment;
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.

deda9f3420 Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding the
chapter number.  This also makes the reference a hyperlink in the HTML
version.

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.
