The documentation for several methods in the sqlite3 library seems to be
at odds with the function names:

sqlite3.Cursor.fetchone --> "Fetches several rows from the resultset."
sqlite3.Cursor.fetchmany --> "Fetches all rows from the resultset."
sqlite3.Cursor.fetchall --> "Fetches one row from the resultset."

This is apparent on Ubuntu's packaged version 2.5.2-2ubuntu4, and a
quick glance at the online SVN repository implies that its present in
the trunk.

Also, it might be helpful the documentation for sqlite3.connect were to
mention that it takes a file name as a parameter :)

I fixed the docstring in r64463 (2.5 branch, already fixed in trunk) and
expanded the connect() docstring in r64464.
