New submission from John Posner jjposner@optimum.net:
The documentation for collections.defaultdict is confusing with respect to the __missing__ method. The fact is that a programmer using defaultdict does not need to know anything about __missing__.
The attached patch contains a rewrite of the entire section (but not the "defaultdict Examples" section, which is fine.
