Stdio.Port: Implementation and documentation differ

Imported from http://bugzilla.roxen.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4312

Reported by erik eriksson, opera software ee@opera.com

compare:

void main()
{
    Stdio.Port p = Stdio.Port();
    write("id: %O\n", p->query_id());
    p->set_id(p);
    write("id: %O\n", p->query_id());
}

with:

http://pike.lysator.liu.se/generated/manual/modref/ex/predef_3A_3A/Stdio/Port/set_id.html

The default id is this_object().

(I would prefer the implementation to be fixed to reflect what is stated in the documentation, rather than the other way around)
