Revision d11f5f3eb51180c7cf55cb61ef5848fbafa03925 authored by Fred Drake on 11 July 2001, 20:40:05 UTC, committed by Fred Drake on 11 July 2001, 20:40:05 UTC 
Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section on
 
concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler.

This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037.

(Does this really belong in the bugfix release?  Yes: this is a readability
bug, and those are important in the documentation.)
