[SciPy-dev] chararray docstrings

[Michael Droettboom]

Yes -- they should all eventually be at needs review, but I held off 
yesterday to wait for all of the free functions to show up in the doc 
editor, and a way to test the cross-referencing from the methods to the 
functions was correct, since those will probably require editing en 
masse once I know the solution.  I didn't want to have to run through 
all of them twice.

I should be able to find some time to do this today, though perhaps not 
enough to complete them all.
