+ \begin{funcdesc}{frozenset}{\optional{iterable}}
+   Return a frozenset object whose elements are taken from \var{iterable}.
+   Frozensets are sets that have no update methods but can be hashed and
+   used as members of other sets or as dictionary keys.  The elements of
+   a frozenset must be immutable themselves.  To represent sets of sets,
+   the inner sets should also be \class{frozenset} objects.  If
+   \var{iterable} is not specified, returns a new empty set,
+   \code{frozenset([])}.

  \begin{funcdesc}{getattr}{object, name\optional{, default}}
    Return the value of the named attributed of \var{object}.  \var{name}
