In the copyreg documentation there is this sentence: "The copy module is likely to use this in the future as well." (http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/copyreg) But the copy module already uses the copyreg module.

A quick reword could be the one attached.

After quite a long chat with Ezio, I'm just proposing this updated patch:

- it fixes the copy doc, explicitly acknowledging the use of copyreg functionalities
- it rewords the first paragraph of copyreg doc, which was a bit too pickle-centric
- it adds an example to copyreg, to give an initial clue of how it works.

I'd like to hear comments/suggestions about it.

I made a few minor changes and applied the patch.

Maybe some 2.7 backport is missing w.r.t. the documentation of the copy module?  At least, http://docs.python.org/2/library/copy.html still states: "The copy module does not use the copy_reg registration module."
