gh-84978: Add float.from_number() and complex.from_number() (GH-26827)
They are alternate constructors which only accept numbers
(including objects with special methods __float__, __complex__
and __index__), but not strings.

gh-119740: Remove deprecated trunc delegation (#119743)
Remove the delegation of `int` to the `__trunc__` special method: `int` will now only delegate to `__int__` and `__index__` (in that order). `__trunc__` continues to exist, but its sole purpose is to support `math.trunc`.

gh-109218: Deprecate weird cases in the complex() constructor (GH-119620)
* Passing a string as the "real" keyword argument is now an error;
  it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
* Passing a complex number as the "real" or "imag" argument is now deprecated;
  it should only be passed as a single positional argument.

gh-109218: Improve documentation for the complex() constructor (GH-119687)
* Remove the equivalence with real+imag*1j which can be incorrect in corner
  cases (non-finite numbers, the sign of zeroes).
* Separately document the three roles of the constructor: parsing a string,
  converting a number, and constructing a complex from components.
* Document positional-only parameters of complex(), float(), int() and bool()
  as positional-only.
* Add examples for complex() and int().
* Specify the grammar of the string for complex().
* Improve the grammar of the string for float().
* Describe more explicitly the behavior when real and/or imag arguments are
  complex numbers. (This will be deprecated in future.)

DOCS: fix error in exec namespace note (gh-119378)
When updating the new exec note added in gh-119235 as part of the
PEP 667 general docs PR, I suggested a workaround that isn't valid.

The first half of the note is still reasonable, so just omit the invalid text.

DOCS: Suggest always calling exec with a globals argument and no locals argument (GH-119235)
Many users think they want a locals argument for various reasons but they do not
understand that it makes code be treated as a class definition. They do not want
their code treated as a class definition and get surprised. The reason not
to pass locals specifically is that the following code raises a `NameError`:

```py
exec("""
def f():
    print("hi")

f()

def g():
    f()
g()
""", {}, {})
```

The reason not to leave out globals is as follows:

```py
def t():
    exec("""
def f():
    print("hi")

f()

def g():
    f()
g()
    """)
```

Documentation wording taken from the

gh-82012: Deprecate bitwise inversion (~) of bool (#103487)
The bitwise inversion operator on bool returns the bitwise inversion of the
underlying int value; i.e. `~True == -2` such that `bool(~True) == True`.

It's a common pitfall that users mistake `~` as negation operator and actually
want `not`. Supporting `~` is an artifact of bool inheriting from int. Since there
is no real use-case for the current behavior, let's deprecate `~` on bool and
later raise an error. This removes a potential source errors for users.

Full reasoning: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82012#issuecomment-1258705971

gh-100428: Make int documentation more accurate (#100436)
- Remove first link to lexical definition of integer literal, since it
  doesn't apply (differs in handling of leading zeros, base needs to be
  explicitly specified, unicode digits are allowed)
- Better describe handling of leading zeros, unicode digits, underscores
- Base 0 does not work exactly as like a code literal, since it allows
  Unicode digits. Link code literal to lexical definition of integer
  literal.
