Summary: PyObject_ClearWeakRefs misdocumented

Initial Comment:
In section 3.3.3 of release 2.1 of the "Python Library 
Reference" we are advised to write the following code:

    ...
    if(!PyObject_ClearWeakRefs(op)) return;
    ...

However, this routine is now declared to return void, 
so this is evidently out of date.

Also, PyObject_ClearWeakRefs does not appear in 
release 2.1 of the "Python/C API Reference Manual" 
(nor do many other routines, alas!)
