Summary: StringIO doc doesn't say it's sometimes read-only

Initial Comment:
When StringIO is instantiated with an intial string:
StringIO("Hello, world!")
it's read-only; the write methods don't exist.  The
Python Library Reference should mention this.

If you instantiate StringIO without an initial string:
StringIO()
you get both read and write methods.
