-From this example you can also see that the builtin ``\var{slice}''

 \item The \keyword{yield} statement is now always a keyword, as
 described in section~\ref{section-generators} of this document.
 
+\item The \code{in} operator now works differently for strings.
+Previously, when evaluating \code{\var{X} in \var{Y}} where \var{X}
+and \var{Y} are strings, \var{X} could only be a single character.
+That's now changed; \var{X} can be a string of any length, and
+\code{\var{X} in \var{Y}} will return \constant{True} if \var{X} is a
+substring of \var{Y}.  If \var{X} is the empty string, the result is
+always \constant{True}.
