 2001-03-03 19:18:01 +00:00
Fred Drake a9a83e9ee3 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;

anyway.

 2000-05-30 03:00:43 +00:00

it could work--reasonably short and straightforward to document, but
flexible enough that it will be able to handle more than just modules
and extensions in the future.
