[New-bugs-announce] [issue29886] links between binascii.{un, }hexlify / bytes.{, to}hex

[chrysn]

New submission from chrysn:

The function binascii.{un,}hexlify and bytes.{,to}hex do almost the same things (plus/minus details of whether they accept whitespace, and whether the hex-encoded data is accepted/returned as strings or bytes).

I think that it would help users to point that out in the documentation, eg. by adding a "Similar functionality is provided by the ... function." lines at the ends of the functions' documentations.
