Glyph, the linked page:
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/15.4.0/core/howto/servers.html has
endpoints example but the "Putting it All Together" still uses:

reactor.listenTCP(8123, ChatFactory())


Wouldn't it be better if that was replaced, too? Or maybe both versions be
visible on the same webpage? (one with listenTCP and one with endpoints)?
