New submission from Stephen J. Turnbull: In section 4.6.3. "Mutable Sequence Types" of current documentation, Note 1 to the table says "[iterable] t must have the same length as the slice it is replacing." This is incorrect in the case of extension: s[len(s):] = t according to the rest of the documentation, as well as experiment.
