Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.

The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A

Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:

b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,

For some of the "big" targets, force things to happen in the "right"

Don't use \samp when \code is better.

Consistently use ' instead of ": this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense. This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard. (It also holds no new surprises!)
