New submission from Mitchell Model <m...@acm.org>: It isn't clear from the explanation of dbm.open's flag values at the beginning of the dbm documentation page whether 'c' and 'n' open the database just for writing or for reading and writing. I'm sure it's obvious to anyone familiar with dbm, and the example demonstrates that 'c' opens the database for reading and writing, but I think it's worth making it explicit by adding a few words to the paragraph describing the flags.
