73d538b9c6 Always initialize Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding on Unix in Py_Initialize,

46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!

c37b65ee10 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.

b5c5132d1a Add sys.excepthook.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
