I was explaining __future__ to someone and it occurred to me that it
would be handy to have a "see also" in that module's documentation that
pointed readers to the relevant section on future statements in the
language reference
(http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#future-statements)

A "see also" pointer back to PEP-326 from one of those two locations
might also be worthwhile.

I added a "seealso" in r71816.
