d623d20e7d Complete the addition of libthreading.tex. (Isn't it annoying that
you need to edit four files in order to add one section to the manual?)

with LaTeX markup added, and some small rewrites to improve the prose.

Use logical (& consistent) markup.

Added a see-also section at the end.

472b9a3f06 Clearly I was to quick with the previous commit...
Need to add \optional{} to sort argument too.

Made x a \var in descr of pop.

Fixed note for pop() and mentioned that it is experimental.

Also added pop to index.

97ea116472 Documented the pop() method for lists.
# The brackets generated by \optional{} are real ugly.  Alas...

73d8bff44d Document optional kwargs argument to start_new_thread(). Also
document new LockType and reverse the preference for exit()
vs. exit_thread() -- exit() is now preferred and exit_thread() is
obsolete.

e5836d9811 Mark the 'whence' parameter of the file object's seek() method as optional;
it's already decribed that way in the description.

^ and the pos argument to re.match().
Also, fixed a typo in libregex.tex.

a7874d1505 Revert the change of revision 1.30. While it's in general a laudable
goal to use isinstance(x, y) instead of comparing type(x) to y, it
doesn't make sense to change this in the example code for the type()
builtin...

bca1207ac8 Documented that by default the output goes to stderr, and that a file
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else.  Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.

# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.

777dcc6b21 Change the description of input() -- it is exactly equivalent to
eval(raw_input(s)).  The statement about breaking a long expression
over multiple lines is no longer true.

a4c640e142 Reverted the last change; the extra cruft is harmless for formatted versions,
and allows the info to work through this section.
