Patch #1025795 : clarify language in Data Structures chapter of tutorial:
...
- Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well,
intentional randomness).
- Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look
like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on.
- Minor language tweaks in the vicinity.
Thanks Dima Dorfman!

Minor improvements to the threading introduction:
...
* Expand the example to show a join.
* Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational
thread.
* Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches
to synchonization.
* Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter. This is a
more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and
in a section on extending and embedding.
