Strengthen __*__ system name warning

My suggested new version, incorporating Guido's sentence:

System-defined names. These names are defined by the interpreter and its 
implementation (including the standard library). Current system names 
are discussed in the Special method names section and elsewhere. More 
will likely be defined in future versions of Python. *Any* use of __*__ 
names, in any* context, that does not follow explicitly documented use, 
is subject to breakage without warning.
