> Strictly speaking the official Python2 reference document isn't a great
> example - for instance:
>
> ' If function is None, the identity function is assumed, that is, all
> elements of iterable that are false are removed.'
>
> Implies that items are removed from the iterable are removed, but they
> aren't; they are simply not included in the sequence that is returned.
>
> Does the documentation need to be fixed too ?
