Update the description of int() to include the radix parameter;

freddrake · freddrake · commit 1e862e8a3798 · 2000-02-17T17:45:52.000Z
omission noted on c.l.py by Aahz Maruch.

Swapped the order of the descriptions of int() and intern() so that
int() comes first (the functions are in alphabetic order).
