Summary: Example needed in os.stat()

Initial Comment:
As the repr() of an os.stat() object is *exactly* equal
to a tuple, it's not clear at first in the
documentation how to use its attributes:

>>> import os
>>> statinfo = os.stat('somefile.txt')
>>> statinfo
(33188, 422511L, 769L, 1, 1032, 100, 926L, 1105022698,
1105022732, 1105022732)
>>> statinfo.st_size
926L
>>>

So I propose to put this example in the stat docs.
