Good suggestion.  Using the debugger and profiler could also be
covered in the User's Guide.

Would splitting up the docs make them more useful for
IronPython/Jython?  For example, Jython could eventually take the 2.6
language docs as-is, but modify the library reference to remove
unsupported modules and add Jython-specific ones.
