Unfortunately no.  Guido does not want to put guarantees in the language 
definition, so there is no urgency to document this.  An auxiliary doc 
might be accepted.  But the people who could write such a thing are busy 
doing otherwise.  Certainly, no one has volunteered to write *and update* 
such.
