Part of my reason for closing is that we have an index entry "iskeyword() (in 
module keyword)"  to help anyone who tries the function as a method.  But I am 
reopening for 2 reasons:

 1. I think the following is a better improvement that reads better as well as 
being more informative.  I would be willing to merge it.

"Call keyword.iskeyword(s) to test whether string s is a reserved identifier, 
such as "def" or "class".

2. We should fix the buggy iskeyword docstring in 2.7 and 3.x.

>>> keyword.iskeyword.__doc__
'x.__contains__(y) <==> y in x.'

Replace with the doc entry: "Return true if s is a Python keyword."
