Fix :class:`~datetime.date`-:class:`~datetime.datetime` comparison. Now the
special comparison methods like ``__eq__`` and ``__lt__`` return
:data:`NotImplemented` if one of comparands is :class:`!date` and other is
:class:`!datetime` instead of ignoring the time part and the time zone or
forcefully return "not equal" or raise :exc:`TypeError`. It makes comparison
of :class:`!date` and :class:`!datetime` subclasses more symmetric and

methods in subclasses.

Fix the :mod:`tkinter` widget method :meth:`!wm_attributes`. It now accepts
the attribute name without the minus prefix to get window attributes and
allows to specify attributes and values to set as keyword arguments. Add new

``w.wm_attributes(return_python_dict=True)`` returns the attributes as a
dict instead of a tuple. Calling ``w.wm_attributes()`` now returns a tuple
instead of string if *wantobjects* was set to 0.
