New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

This issue is to add a str class entry to the built-in types page like we have 
for dict, set, memoryview, etc:

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html

This will let us reference ``str`` the class separately from ``str()`` the 
built-in function.  It will also let us remove the "str." prefix from all of 
the string method descriptions.  Thirdly, it will make the str documentation 
match what is being done for the types previous to it in the documentation, 
including the range, tuple, and list classes.  Lastly, it will make referencing 
string-related sections in Sphinx a bit more intuitive.  Currently, 
:class:`str` points to the built-in function :func:`str`.
