Hi Gavin,
I don't know the status of this patch; but as far as I know with
regards to "iff", I still believe it's a spelling error unless
I read wrong. While I am quite familiar with the 'iff' construct,
I've never seen it at the start of a sentence. Now probably
that stems from my lack of experience with reading docstrings;
still, it is weird to have 'if and only if' at the beginning of
a sentence when an 'if' works just as well.
I even asked gstein over IRC and he agreed with one of the
changes. I didn't ask about the other. Perhaps I falsely
took the liberty of assuming it was under the same 'situation'
(for lack of a better word) so to speak.
Thanks
Edmund
