From 1510565cb5efb22604bd81696ebc12ad5781017e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org>
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 1997 23:31:15 +0000
Subject: Add optional 4th argument to count(), matching find() etc. Also
 change all occurrences of "x == None" to "x is None" (not that it matters
 much, these functions are all reimplemented in strop -- but count() is not).
