Does this patch still need to be updated for pack_to(), or can it just be 
applied?

Patch for the TeX style doc.

Bob, can you work on updating the main section right after
2.5 b2?

We're going to need to revise this patch some more to document the new 
pack_to function (for Martin Blais' hotbuf work)

Additionally we'll probably also want to revise the main struct documentation to 
talk about bounds checking and avoiding the creation of long objects.

That's clearly a typo. I've attached a new version of the patch that removes those 
two letters.

Shouldn't self.size be the number of bytes required to *pack
* the structure?  The number required to *unpack* seems 
like it ought to include tuple overhead and such...
