And it never occurred to me that there would be two args; I vaguely recall the C API having one argument (a structure). Ah, well. I've patched up the documents to warn those who expect intuitive APIs. ;)
while you're at it, and when you find the time, could you perhaps grep for "pair" and change places which use "pair" to mean a tuple with two elements to actually say "tuple" or "2-tuple"... after all, numerous people have claimed that stuff like "a pair (host, port)" isn't enough to make them understand that "pair" actually means "tuple". unless pair refers to a return value, of course. and only if the function doesn't use the optional argument syntax, of course. etc. (I suspect they're making it up as they go, but that's another story...) </F>
