[issue7867] Proposed FAQ entry on pass-by-? semantics and the meaning of 'variable' in python

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

A while back, after along discussion about variables and their meaning in Python on the python-list, I wrote up the attached FAQ entry to summarize what I got out of that enlightening discussion.  I'm proposing that this be added to the FAQs.  If this doesn't itself cause too much controversy I'll prepare a doc patch.
