Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its arguments
are interpreted.
This closes SF bug #532467 .
Fix Typo.
Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a
free variable and is subject to those rules.
Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a
function is enforced.
Remove the following restriction:
Names bound by import statements may not occur in global
statements in the same scope.
Why not?
Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable.
Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.
