Summary: Tutorial uses omitted slice indices before explaining them

Initial Comment:
Version: Python 2.2.2, Windows 98

This is a slight problem in section 3.1.2 of the 
Python tutorial, `Strings'
<http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node5.html#SECTI
ON005120000000000000000>.

In the paragraph which begins `Unlike a C string, 
Python strings cannot be changed ...', the example 
uses an omitted slice index, before omitted slice 
indices have been explained.

This could easily be fixed by moving this paragraph to 
the end of the section on slicing, which would have 
the additional benefit of not slicing the slicing 
section.
