*** 394,406 ****
  Buffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be
  created by calling the builtin function
! \function{buffer()}.\bifuncindex{buffer}.  They don't support
! concatenation or repetition.
  \obindex{buffer}
  
  Xrange objects are similar to buffers in that there is no specific
! syntax to create them, but they are created using the \function{xrange()}
! function.\bifuncindex{xrange}  They don't support slicing,
! concatenation or repetition, and using \code{in}, \code{not in},
! \function{min()} or \function{max()} on them is inefficient.

  Buffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be
  created by calling the builtin function
! \function{buffer()}.\bifuncindex{buffer}.  They support
! concatenation and repetition, but the result is a new string object
! rather than a new buffer object.
