Rewrote the section on sys.exit(), documenting other argument types

than integers and recommending sys.exit("message").
(I see this as Python's answer to Perls ``die "message";''.)

Document the new list.extend() method. Interesting enough, the

canonical definition of extend() is very similar to append() except

42db27fedc
Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that
...
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
when the main line of the program resumes execution. Is this guaranteed
in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?
Also fixed a typo.
