It looks like a cross between a man page for a UNIX function that
either never really got standardised across System V, BSD and umpteen
other variants, or got overstandardised (hence the proliferation of
sort functions), combined with a developer's cookbook (eg. the
O'Reilly Python cookbook) but with less Reilly and more "Oh?".
