fsync(): Implemented for Windows, via calling MS _commit. This counts
...
as "a bug" because there's no other way in core Python to ensure that
bytes written are actually on disk. At least ZODB wants this guarantee,
for robustness against crashes.

Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
