One doc nit: There is still reference to ``gdbm`` and Dbm (or dbm) objects when they should probably use ``dbm.gnu`` and ``dbm.ndbm``, respectively. I'm confused by the encoding="Latin-1" args to _io.open for dbm.dumb. I thought the default enoding was going to be utf-8, and I see no way to influence that. Is that just to make sure all code points can be written without error? Skip
