When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and the
...
set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public
names" that describes the use of __all__.
This closes SF bug #473986 .
Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().

Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it
...
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)
Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.

Apply SF patch #101135 , adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
...
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the

distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.
Tip: review the patch like this:
grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>
To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.
