Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval(). This wording (more or less)

Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documented
Added doc for functions new to 2.2: classmethod property staticmethod super

SF bug #501591: dir() doc is old
Bugfix candidate.
+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.
+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
latter is stable.
+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).
