The coerce builtin can't return None, but its docstring says
otherwise. As far back as I bothered to look (rev 2.98 of
bltnmodule.c in 1997), the implementation hasn't been able
to return None, so it's the docs that should be fixed.

Attached patch fixes the docstring and improves the library
reference to document what really happens if coercion fails.
