Weak*Dictionary: Added docstrings to the classes.
Weak*Dictionary.update(): No longer create a temporary list to hold the
things that will be stuffed into the underlying dictionary. This had
been done so that if any of the objects used as the weakly-held value
was not weakly-referencable, no updates would take place (TypeError
would be raised). With this change, TypeError will still be raised
but a partial update could occur. This is more like other .update()
implementations.
Thoughout, use of the name "ref" as a local variable has been removed. The
original use of the name occurred when the function to create a weak
reference was called "new"; the overloaded use of the name could be
confusing for someone reading the code. "ref" used as a variable name
has been replaced with "wr" (for 'weak reference').
