0af7f64cb6 ord() documentation update; this is what remains applicable from
SF patch #1057588; other changes make the rest of the patch out of date
or otherwise unnecessary

cb40ba1f5e SF bug #805304: super instances don't support item assignment
Document a nuance of super().  It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.

feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.
