3. Is there documentation for delete anywhere?

It seems like it's only in the whatsnew22.tex docs.

get and set are mentioned in the Doc/ext/newtypes.tex file, but that section is commented out with

% XXX Descriptors need to be explained in more detail somewhere, but % not here.

Unfortunately they're not anywhere else, either. Any suggestions for where they should be documented?
