There's still a long way to go, but we're starting to see some real
content in the docs.

Fred Drake 0f9a34da2c Added comments for more entries of the type structure in the example
type implementation.

Fred Drake 81b750d467 Move some of the longer example code to external fragments, and
include them using \verbatiminput.  This has the advantage that pages
can still break at reasonable places, and examples that go longer than
a page won't get cut off.

Make a few small markup adjustments for consistency.

Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
beast that returns a pointer to the type that's passed as the first
arg.

Explain why type objects use the PyObject_VAR_HEAD.

always fill in all slots of table entries.

Barry Warsaw da21ce3e31 On Fred's suggestion, convert sprintf() examples to use

other mark-up issues.  Sample code not checked.
