R. David Murray added the comment:

shadowadler, the documentation assumes *throughout* that you have not created 
any variable that shadows any standard Python entities.  There is no other 
rational way to write the documentation.  To change that policy would, as has 
been pointed out, require disclaimers in thousands of places in the 
documentation.  That's not something that is going to be done :)
