[Doc-SIG] Documenting "Magic" Methods

[Moshe Zadka]

I assumed that the Python documentation has a standard way to document
classes which define magic methods. However, on looking through the
documented modules, I saw that it was elegently (and sometimes not so
elegantly) avoided -- "dictionary-like interface" is the only thing (apart
from examples) that can be found about
shelve.shelve.__[get|set|del]item__.

Is there something I missed, or is this area really untouched?
