To see Grammar3.0.0.beta.1.pickle or nothing like that at all.

Well, there it is, timestamped early May ;-)

'Doc' refers to documentation for (lib)2to3 (see subject line), not the 
surprising g...pickle.  I expected mention of the former because

1. All other modules and packages in Lib seem to be in the Lib. Ref..
2. 2to3 is for developer-users as well as core developers.
3. The lib2to3/refactor.py doc string says it is meant to be used.
