improved performance: \module{Queue}, \module{mutex}, \module{shlex}
\module{threading}, and \module{pydoc}.
+\item The \module{ConfigParser} classes have been enhanced slightly.
+ The \method{read()} method now returns a list of the files that
+ were successfully parsed, and the \method{set()} method raises
+ \exception{TypeError} if passed a \var{value} argument that isn't a
+ string.

tenfold improvement in speed makes the module suitable for handling
high volumes of data.
