http://bugs.python.org/issue14668 was created for updating the relevant documentation. I pushed without docs since it's unlikely they'll be done before the weekend's alpha 3 build, and I didn't want to have this feature wait an extra month before anyone sees it. Anyone who's installing an alpha build is probably advanced enough to know what it's doing in the meantime.
