Summary: Mistakes in decimal.Context.subtract documentation

Initial Comment:
The subtract method of the decimal.Context object is
misspelled as
    substract
in the online html documentation for the decimal
module, section 5.6.3.


At the Python interactive prompt:
>>> import decimal
>>> help(decimal.Context.subtract)
Help on method subtract in module decimal:

subtract(self, a, b) unbound decimal.Context method
    Return the sum of the two operands.
    <snip doctest examples>

That description should read:
    Returns the difference between a and b.
