[issue13502] Documentation for Event.wait return value is either wrong or incomplete

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Thinking about it, if the flag's state if the wait does not expire is not guaranteed to be True, then what I really need is some way to know, when the wait call completes, whether or not it terminated because of a timeout or not.  I can always query the value of the flag separately if its value can in any case be changed by another thread.

I am perhaps using the wrong tool, I'll have to look at the docs further.
