From 4e18f07613f2cdf25f9436da36c88f16e783075a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:18:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as being "for backward compatibility." Also revert to using bisect() in the example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical usage. --- Doc/lib/libbisect.tex | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/lib/libbisect.tex b/Doc/lib/libbisect.tex index 2b27b9fe11..94d5175570 100644 --- a/Doc/lib/libbisect.tex +++ b/Doc/lib/libbisect.tex @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ The following functions are provided: \end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{bisect}{\unspecified} - Alias for \function{bisect_right()} for backward compatibility. + Alias for \function{bisect_right()}. \end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{insort_left}{list, item\optional{, lo\optional{, hi}}} @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ The following functions are provided: \end{funcdesc} \begin{funcdesc}{insort}{\unspecified} - Alias for \function{insort_right()} for backward compatibility. + Alias for \function{insort_right()}. \end{funcdesc} @@ -65,16 +65,16 @@ The following functions are provided: \nodename{bisect-example} The \function{bisect()} function is generally useful for categorizing -numeric data.
