New submission from Larry Hastings: You know how you start pulling on a thread and before you notice you've unraveled the whole sweater? I meant to do a simple *one line* fix on the docs and wound up with a nearly-300-line diff. I claim it's all an improvement, though I'm willing to change it if there's something you don't like.
Definite improvements: * supports_fd et al are :class:`set` objects, not :class:`~collections.Set`. Those are different. * Linked to the "specifying a file descriptor" section in os from the relevant discussion in what's new. * "Availability: Unix" goes above :versionadded. Avowed improvements: * supports_* now explicitly mention what values are permitted for their parameters. * Lots of rewriting/munging in an effort to improve readability and precision. * A couple places where "it's" read better than "it is".
