 The list methods make it very easy to use a list as a stack, where the last
 element added is the first element retrieved ("last-in, first-out").  To add an
-item to the top of the stack, use :meth:`!~list.append`.  To retrieve an item from the
-top of the stack, use :meth:`!~list.pop` without an explicit index.  For example::

 It is best to think of a dictionary as a set of *key: value* pairs,
 with the requirement that the keys are unique (within one dictionary). A pair of
