help function is not current, then again, neither is my python3. 
Possibly sequencemethods[12] are eradicated.

In 3.1rc2, SPECIALMETHODS help ends with
"Related help topics: BASICMETHODS, ATTRIBUTEMETHODS, CALLABLEMETHODS,
SEQUENCEMETHODS1, MAPPINGMETHODS, SEQUENCEMETHODS2, NUMBERMETHODS,
CLASSES".
The topic list only has SEQUENCEMETHODS and not S...1 and S...2.
So I suspect the two topics were consolidated into one without changing
the cross-reference lists.  The latter need editing.
