The problem is that the urllib.request doc has several 
'placeholder-literal' and 'literal-placeholder' constructs where 
'literal' is text that the user *must copy* while 'placeholder' is text 
that the user *must replace* with one of several strings, with no 
evident indication of which is which.  (The constructs indicate possible 
allowed names of user-supplied functions.)  The only issue to me is how 
to indicate in the .rst source (and resulting html) that 'placeholder' 
is a placeholder and not a literal.
