It's easy enough to guess what it does by instrumenting it, too. However, it's been out in a released Python for several versions now and I get tired of guessing every time I have to write a new one of these ;-). I think it's time there were some official docs.

So volunteer some. I'm anxious to, and I will -- just as soon as I can get a clear picture of what I should say. Gee, I guess "someone" should document getattribute while I'm in there. Are there any other obvious omissions in that neighborhood?

Didn't want this hanging over my head so I submitted the doc patch already. I guess youse guys can clean it up if I made any conceptual or formatting errors.
