Summary: PyList_SET_ITEM documentation omission

Initial Comment:
The Python/C API documentation doesn't document the 
fact that PyList_SET_ITEM does not DECREF the list 
item being replaced (if any), but PyList_SetItem does.

from listobject.h:

#define PyList_SET_ITEM(op, i, v) (((PyListObject *)
(op))->ob_item[i] = (v))

from listobject.c:

[...]
olditem = *p;
*p = newitem;
Py_XDECREF(olditem);
[...]
