Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter; 

omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).

\begin{funcdesc}{int}{x\optional{, radix}}
Convert a string or number to a plain integer. If the argument is a
string, it must contain a possibly signed decimal number
representable as a Python integer, possibly embedded in whitespace;
this behaves identical to \code{string.atoi(\var{x}\optional{,
\var{radix}})}. The \var{radix} parameter gives the base for the
conversion and may be any integer in the range $[2, 36]$. If
\var{radix} is specified and \var{x} is not a string,
\exception{TypeError} is raised.
Otherwise, the argument may be a plain or
long integer or a floating point number. Conversion of floating
point numbers to integers is defined by the C semantics; normally
the conversion truncates towards zero.\footnote{This is ugly --- the
language definition should require truncation towards zero.}

\begin{funcdesc}{intern}{string}
Enter \var{string} in the table of ``interned'' strings and return
