Noted my recent contributions in "What's New In Python 3.10". Also made some edits clarifying "annotations" vs "type hints", and some other edits for correctness.
Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.
The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.
Use the flag on the following types:
* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type
Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.
Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.
type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.
* Add also references to --with-trace-refs option.
* Move _ob_next and _ob_prev at the end, since they don't exist by
default and are related to debug.
Add new C-API functions to control the state of the garbage collector:
PyGC_Enable(), PyGC_Disable(), PyGC_IsEnabled(),
corresponding to the functions in the gc module.

Faster bz2/lzma/zlib via new output buffering.
Also adds .readall() function to _compression.DecompressReader class
to take best advantage of this in the consume-all-output at once scenario.
Often a 5-20% speedup in common scenarios due to less data copying.

asyncio.get_event_loop() emits now a deprecation warning when it creates a new event loop.
In future releases it will became an alias of asyncio.get_running_loop().
The argument order of `link_to()` is reversed compared to what one may expect, so:
a.link_to(b)
Might be expected to create *a* as a link to *b*, in fact it creates *b* as a link to *a*, making it function more like a "link from". This doesn't match `symlink_to()` nor the documentation and doesn't seem to be the original author's intent.
This PR deprecates `link_to()` and introduces `hardlink_to()`, which has the same argument order as `symlink_to()`.
To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated with SyntaxErrors is wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
becomes
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
The inclusion of PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer in python3dll.c was a mistake.
According to PEP 384:
> functions expecting FILE* are not part of the ABI, to avoid depending
> on a specific version of the Microsoft C runtime DLL on Windows.

When printing NameError raised by the interpreter, PyErr_Display
will offer suggestions of simmilar variable names in the function that the exception
was raised from:
>>> schwarzschild_black_hole = None
>>> schwarschild_black_hole
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'schwarschild_black_hole' is not defined. Did you mean: schwarzschild_black_hole?
When printing AttributeError, PyErr_Display will offer suggestions of similar
attribute names in the object that the exception was raised from:
>>> collections.namedtoplo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'namedtoplo'. Did you mean: namedtuple?
The snake_case names have existed since Python 2.6, so there is
no reason to keep the old camelCase names around. One similar
method, threading.Thread.isAlive, was already removed in
Python 3.9 (bpo-37804).
Add the Py_Is(x, y) function to test if the 'x' object is the 'y'
object, the same as "x is y" in Python. Add also the Py_IsNone(),
Py_IsTrue(), Py_IsFalse() functions to test if an object is,
respectively, the None singleton, the True singleton or the False
singleton.
Static methods (@staticmethod) and class methods (@classmethod) now
inherit the method attributes (__module__, __name__, __qualname__,
__doc__, __annotations__) and have a new __wrapped__ attribute.
Changes:
* Add a repr() method to staticmethod and classmethod types.
* Add tests on the @classmethod decorator.
Add Doc/using/configure.rst documentation to document configure,
preprocessor, compiler and linker options.
Add a new section about the "Python debug build".
The limited C API is now supported if Python is built in debug mode
(if the Py_DEBUG macro is defined). In the limited C API, the
Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque
function calls, rather than accessing directly the PyObject.ob_refcnt
member, if Python is built in debug mode and the Py_LIMITED_API macro
targets Python 3.10 or newer. It became possible to support the
limited C API in debug mode because the PyObject structure is the
same in release and debug mode since Python 3.8 (see bpo-36465).
The limited C API is still not supported in the --with-trace-refs
special build (Py_TRACE_REFS macro).
* Enum: streamline repr() and str(); improve docs
- repr() is now ``enum_class.member_name``
- stdlib global enums are ``module_name.member_name``
- str() is now ``member_name``
- add HOW-TO section for ``Enum``
- change main documentation to be an API reference
