The documentation for set.update(),
set.intersection_update(), set.difference_update() and
set.symmetric_difference_update currently (as of
r41806) states that these methods all return the
updated set, implying that this is a not-in-place
change. In fact, these methods do operate in place,
each one of them returning None.

The attached diff (against Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex,
r41806) fixes this, making it clear that these are
in-place operations.
