This relies on some personal code that is not yet available, but should
be by the time we release 2.0c1.

testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
false anyway.
get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are
optional.
make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.
do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print.
handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it
doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
mark off-site links.

$IMAGE_TYPE as needed.
get_link_icon(): Function to examine a URL and return the string to use
to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed
and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set.
Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.
Fixed displays of the interactive prompt in running text.

Also:
Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability
to unpack any sequence type. Explained that it is possible to create
tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary
section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.
Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.
Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant.
Removed commented-out paragraph about __private names being experimental.
Adjusted markup for consistency in some places.

and expansion of the material.
Note that 2.0 will be released in the autumn, not the summer.
