[Python-Dev] C API doc question

Due to the Unicode API discussion, I happened to be looking at the C
API docs at http://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/unicode.html#plain-py-unicode
and noticed that out of:

PyUnicode_FromUnicode
PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize
PyUnicode_FromString
PyUnicode_FromFormat
PyUnicode_FromFormatV
PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject
PyUnicode_FromObject

only the first and the last two are flagged in the online docs as
returning a new reference. The other 4 are not (but probably should
be).

However, I can't see anything in the markup which is even causing
those "Return value: New reference" markings to appear in the first
place, nor any clues in the Documenting Python info. What am I
missing?

Cheers,
Nick.
