Only if you expect a truly formal language specification, to the
casual reader, it is obvious what the meaning of sequencing is.

The sequencing semantics is more involved, but you knew that:
exceptions, and the break, return, and continue statements can all
interfere with the sequencing.

Regardless, if you can provide some wording, please submit a patch to
sf.net/projects/python. I'd put words into the explanation of <suite>,
and of <file_input>.
