We may also revisit the rules used by help() to decide what to include on the auto-generated module implementation. Note that currently help() output excludes names not in all is the module has all defined. While I advocated this rule earlier in this thread, I now Consider the recent addition of open() to the tokenize module. It was documented in the manual, but (wisely) excluded from tokenize.all.

I’m not sure this was on purpose. Victor?
