  \item Strings also gained an \method{rsplit()} method that
  works like the \method{split()} method but splits from the end of
! the string.  Possible applications include splitting a filename
! from a path or a domain name from URL.

  \item The \function{zip()} built-in function and \function{itertools.izip()}
    now return an empty list instead of raising a \exception{TypeError}
!   exception if called with no arguments.  This makes the function more
    suitable for use with variable length argument lists:

  Note that \function{tee()} has to keep copies of the values returned 
  by the iterator; in the worst case, it may need to keep all of them.  
! This should therefore be used carefully if there the leading iterator
  can run far ahead of the trailing iterator in a long stream of inputs.
! If the separation is large, then it becomes preferrable to use
  \function{list()} instead.  When the iterators track closely with one
  another, \function{tee()} is ideal.  Possible applications include
