Summary: dir() doc is old

Initial Comment:
"Brian Quinlan" <brian@sweetapp.com>

reports on c.l.p that dir() is incorrect in
the library reference.  The current doc string
seems to be more accurate:

Return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some
of) the attributes of the given object, and of
attributes reachable from it:

No argument:  the names in the current scope.
Module object:  the module attributes.
Type or class object:  its attributes, and recursively
the attributes of
    its bases.
Otherwise:  its attributes, its class's attributes, and
recursively the
    attributes of its class's base classes.
