								Issue  #25179 : Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting  
							
							... 
							
							
							
							* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter
  class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more
  appropriate
* Fix references to various format() functions and methods
* Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers,
  and this is tested; see Issue #19729  for instance

								#20135 : FAQ entry for list mutation.  (See also 6375bf34fff6.)  
							
							... 
							
							
							
							I accidentally committed this in 6375bf34fff6; this changeset addresses the
last review comments on the patch.
This is a perennial question and something someone opens a ticket for probably
every other month or so, so I'm surprised we didn't already have a FAQ entry
for it.
The original patch was written by M. Votz, refined first by Ezio Melotti and
further refined by me.
