Summary: Floating point issues in body of text

Initial Comment:
Assuming that people do read the tutorial and that
people don't read the appendix (or at least it is
read much later), the body of the text should briefly
mention the floating point issues with an example and
reference the corresponding appendix. This issue seems
to be one of the most frequently asked questions on 
python-list/c.l.python and since people don't read 
FAQs ;-), I thought it would be convinient to mention
it in the body of the tutorial text.

This patch is made against the CVS version but it
should work with earlier versions too.
