Raymond, in the review comments on https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/156 Xiang noted that the current apparently duplicated iterable isn't entirely redundant:

- the first reference is to the term "iterable"
- the second reference is to the parameter name "*iterable*"

"Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the :term:`iterable` *iterable*."

So if we're going to drop one of them, it should probably be the link to the term, rather than the parameter name:


"Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in *iterable*."

Does that sound reasonable to you?
