35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by
Andrew Dalke.

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.

in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)

c35367e439 Change an {\em ...} to \var{...} and a {\bf ...} to \program{...} (the
new markup makes sense in context).

These allow the SGML/XML conversion updates to work, & should not have
still been in there anyway.
