Fred Drake 8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions

Fred Drake deda9f3420 Use a named reference to another chapter instead of hard coding the 
chapter number.  This also makes the reference a hyperlink in the HTML
version.

Guido van Rossum 0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict". 
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

Fred Drake 445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer 
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.
