+Rename IDLE's module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. The
+original module-level class and method browser became a module browser, with
+the addition of module-level functions, years ago. Nested classes and
+functions were added yesterday.  For back- compatibility, the virtual event
+<<open-class-browser>>, which appears on the Keys tab of the Settings
+dialog, is not changed. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
