I've found a few other places where the docs are misleading at best, and
nonexistent or simply wrong at worst. I've been able to figure out most
things
by reverse-engineering pickle's behavior, but that's often a slow
process.

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to compile a list of places the
docs could
be improved.
