[Python-checkins] python/dist/src/Doc/lib libre.tex,1.86,1.87

[Sjoerd Mullender]

Didn't /F say that \b represent a boundary between \w and \W?

\w can match more than just alphanumeric characters and underscore, so
the documentation is still not correct.  I guess the \b documentation
should just refer to the \w/\W documentation.
