This does two changes that are quite related.
0. it add that variable binding can occur in pattern matching, an update of 3.10
which seems to have been omitted from the list of bindings
1. Given how long the sentence already was, with even subcases in the middle of
the sentence, the commit breaks the sentence into an actual list.
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.
The documentation explaining Python's data model does not adequately explain
the differences between ``__getitem__`` and ``__class_getitem__``, nor does it
explain when each is called. There is an attempt at explaining
``__class_getitem__`` in the documentation for ``GenericAlias`` objects, but
this does not give sufficient clarity into how the method works. Moreover, it
is the wrong place for that information to be found; the explanation of
``__class_getitem__`` should be in the documentation explaining the data model.
This PR has been split off from GH-29335.
It should be noted that this part of the documentation is redundant with
function.rst's documentation of int. This one was correctly updated with Python 3.8.
Keep track of whether unsafe_tuple_compare() calls are resolved by the very
first tuple elements, and adjust strategy accordingly. This can significantly
cut the number of calls made to the full-blown PyObject_RichCompareBool(),
and especially when duplicates are rare.

Also:
* Expand the discussion into its own entry. (Even before this,
text on ``_`` was longet than the text on ``_*``.)
* Briefly note the other common convention for `_`: naming unused
variables.

Broadened scope of the document to explicitly discuss and differentiate between ``__main__.py`` in packages versus the ``__name__ == '__main__'`` expression (and the idioms that surround it), as well as ``import __main__``.

Remove the @asyncio.coroutine decorator
enabling legacy generator-based coroutines to be compatible with async/await
code; remove asyncio.coroutines.CoroWrapper used for wrapping
legacy coroutine objects in the debug mode.
The decorator has been deprecated
since Python 3.8 and the removal was initially scheduled for Python 3.10.
Accessing the following attributes will now fire PEP 578 style audit hooks as ("object.__getattr__", obj, name):
* PyTracebackObject: tb_frame
* PyFrameObject: f_code
* PyGenObject: gi_code, gi_frame
* PyCoroObject: cr_code, cr_frame
* PyAsyncGenObject: ag_code, ag_frame
Add an AUDIT_READ attribute flag aliased to READ_RESTRICTED.
Update obsolete flag documentation.
Update documentation section for "Future statements" to reflect that `from __future__ import annotations` is on by default, and no features require using the future statement now.
This is a first edition, ready to go out with the implementation. We'll iterate during the rest of the period leading up to 3.10.0.

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.

Follow up to 7cdf30fff3 and 4173320920. This addresses the point "1. Update links in typing, subscription and union to point to GenericAlias." in the bpo for this PR.
@ericsnowcurrently This PR will change the following:
In the library documentation importlib.rst:
- `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.

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 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.
Some discussion in the email thread:
Subject: Documenting Python's float.__str__()
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/FV22TKT3S2Q3P7PNN6MCXI6IX3HRRNAL/
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).
Use an unique identifier for the different grammars documented using
the Sphinx productionlist markup.
productionlist markups of the same grammar, like "expressions" or
"compound statements", use the same identifier "python-grammar".
Sphinx 3 disallows having more than one productionlist markup with
the same name. Simply remove names in this case, since names are not
shown anyway. For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:
Doc/reference/introduction.rst:96: duplicate token description
of *:name, other instance in reference/expressions
Sphinx 3 requires to refer to terms with the exact case.
For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:
Doc/library/pkgutil.rst:71: WARNING: term Loader not found in case
sensitive match.made a reference to loader instead.
