Description
Documentation
A few pickle opcode descriptions in the pickletools module are expanded adding a few more details, along with a grammatical fix or two. All expansions to the descriptions come from the code or PEPs, hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory. One paragraph for REDUCE was also removed since it hasn't applied since early Python 2.
