table lists the **unique** methods of each data type across Python 2 & 3
(e.g., the ``decode()`` method is usable on the equivalent binary data type in
either Python 2 or 3, but it can't be used by the text data type consistently
-between Python 2 and 3 because ``str`` in Python 3 doesn't have the method).
