[Python-Dev] 2.1.2: patching Modules/

No, but they can create problems for you, which is why I do them <wink>:  if
I'm doing "real work" on a module and find that mechanical issues are
proving to be a non-trivial distraction, I try to check in the mechanical
edits first, so they don't get mixed up with the real work.

Ironic:  my current editor understands Python's triple-quoted strings better
than the Emacs python-mode does, but doesn't understand backslash
continuation of strings at all.  I did \n\ -> \n" even before, though, as
the text doesn't line up right for the eyeball when only the first line of a
continued string has a leading ".
