0) I ran into some (small) problems with the documentation added by revision 62195. It seems more efficient to reuse this issue to report these. Feel free to ask me to open another issue if that's not appreciated.

1) A small patch that addresses two problems with the current (ie, 2.7) documentation should be attached:
- link three occurrences of "GIL" to the GIL entry in the glossary; and
- add some example code to clarify the usage of PyFile_IncUseCount() andPyFile_DecUseCount().

2) That patch also adds a link to the "Thread State and the Global Interpreter Lock" section to the GIL entry in the Documentation index. That is a separate problem. But fixing that minor problem could also be of help to people (like me) that need to better understand the GIL aspects of those two functions.
