Backport Guido's changes from revision 1.89:
...
Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally).
Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
FLD: My modifications to Guido's markup are included from revision 1.90.

Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Refer to the objects which define __len__(), __*item__(), and __iter__()

as container objects rather than as mapping objects (in the index entries).
Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general,
since that's how things have actually evolved.
