Summary: wrong priority doc for ** vs unary -

Initial Comment:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/summary.html 
documents ** as higher-priority than unary - (by 
placing it in the following line on the precedence 
table).  This is unfortunately false: ** is higher 
priority, so e.g. -2**2 evaluates to -4.  Alas, and 
quite confusing to newbies, but at least it needs to 
be documented right.
