Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding to spread because we don't provide all the information twice. The reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice; at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date. ;-(

Classes can use the same interfaces to control copying that they use
-to control pickling: they can define methods called
-\method{__getinitargs__()}, \method{__getstate__()} and

\refmodule{pickle}\refstmodindex{pickle} for information on these
