Andrew M. Kuchling c33c266f9f Describe the segment_size and counter keyword arguments.
Another bunch of rewrites and clarifications.

I now think this PEP is complete enough to implement.  My next step

complicated or inefficient.  If nothing turns up, I'll finalize the
PEP; if there are problems, the PEP will be revised in light of
implementation experience
