    The "special method names" section of the Python 3.0 documentation still
    mentions the __div__ method. I believe this method has been totally
    removed in Python 3 in favour of __truediv__. (Perhaps I am mistaken,
    but 'int' object has no attribute '__div__', so I assume this is correct).

    Note here:
    http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/reference/datamodel.html#object.\_\_div__

    __div__ is still documented. Most of the __div__/truediv section
    describes the issues distinguishing the two. Now that __div__ is gone,
    surely there is no need for this section, and __truediv__ can just be
    pushed up above with all the other operators?

    Attached a patch doing that. Also deleted rdiv and idiv from the
    following sections. (And one minor extra fix: added // to the list
    of operators in reflected methods, since it was missing - note this
    required a reflow of text, which is why the diff shows the whole
    paragraph changing).

    Change log:

    Doc/reference/datamodel.rst: Removed section under "emulating numeric
    types" about difference between __div__ and __truediv__, since __div__
    has been removed from the language. Also deleted __rdiv__ and __idiv__
    from the following sections, also removed.
