Fred Drake 4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as 
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.

Fred Drake 5255c791cc select.select(): Add note that though this function accepts empty lists, 
using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.
