Lots, such as unicodestring versions of all standard classes.

The wiki pages are created when new features are implemented. Ideally, 
the official documentation will pick up all necessary information before 
the next release, but that obviously does not always happen. 
Additionally, the wiki pages can be easily updated in real time after a 
release when errors/omissions are seen, while the official documentation 
will only be regenerated when the next release is made.
