>>> help(struct) mentions the functions which use fmt characters.
The builtin help does not mention the fmt characters and their meaning.
One should go online if he has to refer them.

The module docstring (for _struct) already existed, but was not exposed 
as struct.__doc__
This patch fixes the problem; also, there was a missing format 
character ("?")

Thanks for the patch, Gabriel!

Applied to trunk in r75283.  (I also fixed the indentation for the
list of order/size/alignment specifiers.)  Merged to py3k in r75284, 
release31-maint in r75285.  Leaving open for the merge to release26-maint.
