[issue33014] Clarify doc string for str.isidentifier()

Carol Willing added the comment: Terry's latest documentation suggestion sounds good and "explicit" by including an example. David, I appreciate your doc suggestions. If it's befuddling you, it's likely doing the same for others. CuriousLearner, do you wish to try to incorporate Terry's late

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Part of my reason for closing is that we have an index entry "iskeyword() (in module keyword)" to help anyone who tries the function as a method. But I am reopening for 2 reasons: 1. I think the following is a better improvement that reads better as well a
