bpo-42669: Document that `except` rejects nested tuples (GH-23822)
In Python 2, it was possible to use `except` with a nested tuple, and occasionally natural.  For example, `zope.formlib.interfaces.InputErrors` is a tuple of several exception classes, and one might reasonably think to do something like this:

    try:
        self.getInputValue()
        return True
    except (InputErrors, SomethingElse):
        return False

As of Python 3.0, this raises `TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed` instead: one must instead either break it up into multiple `except` clauses or flatten the tuple.  However, the reference documentation was never updated to match this new restriction.  Make it clear that the definition is no longer recursive.

bpo-41229: Update docs for explicit aclose()-required cases and add contextlib.aclosing() method (GH-21545)
This is a PR to:

 * Add `contextlib.aclosing` which ia analogous to `contextlib.closing` but for async-generators with an explicit test case for [bpo-41229]()
 * Update the docs to describe when we need explicit `aclose()` invocation.

which are motivated by the following issues, articles, and examples:

 * [bpo-41229]()
 * https://github.com/njsmith/async_generator
 * https://vorpus.org/blog/some-thoughts-on-asynchronous-api-design-in-a-post-asyncawait-world/#cleanup-in-generators-and-async-generators
 * https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/
 * https://github.com/achimnol/aiotools/blob/ef7bf0cea7af/src/aiotools/context.py#L152

Particuarly regarding [PEP-533](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/), its acceptance (`__aiterclose__()`) would make this little addition of `contextlib.aclosing()` unnecessary for most use cases, but until then this could serve as a good counterpart and analogy to `contextlib.closing()`. The same applies for `contextlib.closing` with `__iterclose__()`.
Also, still there are other use cases, e.g., when working with non-generator objects with `aclose()` methods.

- `module.__package__` can be `module.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.parent` can be `spec.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespaces packages.

In the language documentation import.rst:

- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespace packages.

Fix bpo-39416: Change "Numeric" to lower case; an english word, not a class name (GH-22867)
This is a trivial fix to [bpo-39416](), which didn't come up until it was already committed

```
Change "Numeric" to "numeric".

I believe this is trivial enough to not need an issue or a NEWS entry, although
I'm unclear on what branches the original pull request received backports.

bpo-39416: Document some restrictions on the default string representations of numeric classes (GH-18111)
[bpo-39416](): Document string representations of the Numeric classes

This is a change to the specification of the Python language.

The idea here is to put sane minimal limits on the Python language's default
representations of its Numeric classes.  That way "Marty's Robotic Massage Parlor
and Python Interpreter" implementation of Python won't do anything too
crazy.

bpo-38605: Make 'from __future__ import annotations' the default (GH-20434)
The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.

For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).
