Raymond Hettinger 354433a59d SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)

The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon.  Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).

The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch.  Further additions are
welcome from everyone.  Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Raymond Hettinger 0e371f2cb6 Make sure "del d[n]" is properly supported. Was necessary because the
same method that implements __setitem__ also implements __delitem__.
Also, there were several good use cases (removing items from a queue
and implementing Forth style stack ops).

Fred Drake 04d92c37f2 Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The
reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice;
at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date.  ;-(
