Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().
...
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.
The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.
The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames

is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Improvements to set.py:
...
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods. They now
allow any iterable instead of requiring a set. This makes the module
a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
while screening out immutables.
* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()
* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.
* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.
Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions. The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or

LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that
contains no other content. Since such an element is typically a
named anchor used for hyperlinking, they should not be removed.
Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
direct way of avoiding this behavior.
