 In order to clarify the difference between isInfixOf and isSubsequenceOf,
 I submit a patch which changes the wording from

 "The 'isSubsequenceOf' function takes two lists and returns 'True' if the
 first list is a subsequence of the second list."
 to
 "The 'isSubsequenceOf' function takes two lists and returns 'True' if all
 the elements of the first list occur, in order, in the second. The
 elements do not have to occur consecutively."
