New issue 591: Typo in "Assertions about expected exceptions" docs
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/591/typo-in-assertions-about-expected

Tom V:

The [code block explaining accessing "actual exception info"](http://pytest.org/latest/assert.html#assertions-about-expected-exceptions) looks like it contains too many `f()`s. I think a single `f()` is all that's required here:

*and if you need to have access to the actual exception info you may use::*

    with pytest.raises(RuntimeError) as excinfo:
        def f():
            f()
        f()

    # do checks related to excinfo.type, excinfo.value, excinfo.traceback

Happy to make a PR is we can agree what this is supposed to look like. (I also found a few spelling mistake in the docs, that could be fixed at the same time?)
