Improve DictMixin.
...
Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

Add notes pointing out that these classes are kept for backward compatibility
...
and suggeest that new code that does not require compatibility with older
Python versions subclass dictionary, list, or str.

Note that the UserString/MutableString classes are far less efficient
...
than the built-in string types (suggested by Moshe Zadka
<moshez@math.huji.ac.il>).
Clarified what "can be converted to a string" means.
Fixed a few markup nits.

Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope
...
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)
I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
