The docs for str.splitlines() should explain: 1. That it uses the universal newlines approach to splitting lines 2. That unlike str.split() a trailing empty line is *not* included in the resulting list

I'm assuming Nick is talking about the stdtypes.rst (in Doc/library) file, correct? If so, I went ahead and created a simple patch that almost uses his verbiage verbatim.

Thanks. I added an example, too, since split has some.
