Well, I think think I would at least like the sections in the Library
reference documentation should mention the other functions.  I.e. the
following should have cross references:

A. 2. Built-in Functions hex() should cross reference float.hex()
B. 2. Built-in Functions float() should cross reference float.fromhex()
C. 5.4.3. Additional Methods on Float float.hex() should cross reference
hex()
D. 5.4.3. Additional Methods on Float float.fromhex() should cross
reference int(x,16)

As well, the documentation strings for hex, float.hex and float.fromhex
should mention the alternative functions. 

I am not sure about B, but I think in the documentation the alternative
functions should be mentioned.  

I can prepare a documentation patch, if you think it would be useful (it
may take a week or two). I would not have filed this bug if A. had
existed since the hex documentation was the first place I looked.  

Thank you.
