>Summary: [RefMan] Special status of "as"

Initial Comment:
The special status of "as" in import statements needs
to be acknowledged in the list of keywords (RefMan 2.3.1).

(Based on note sent to python-docs.)

Several important words like None are not listed as 
keywords.  In this case, there is no need because assigning 
to 'as' does not ambiguate the syntax:

>>> import sys as sass
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'sass']
>>> as = 12
>>> import os as oz
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'as', 'oz', 'sass']

Thanks for raising the issue.  I'm going to close this one 
because I think it's invalid.  If someone disagrees, feel 
free to resurrect it.
