New submission from Alan De Smet :
In Doc/library/urllib.request.rst, in the documentation for the class
`Request`, it says
```
The final two arguments are only of interest for correct handling
of third-party HTTP cookies:
```
However, three arguments follow, not two, and the last is not necessarily
related to third-party cookie handling.
I believe replacing "final" with "next" will correct the sentence:
```
The next two arguments are only of interest for correct handling
of third-party HTTP cookies:
```
Verified present in the source releases for CPython 3.5.7, 3.6.8, 3.7.3,
3.8.0b1. It is _not_ present in 2.7.16 (as the third parameter didn't yet
exist, so the existing phrasing is correct.)
