Improve misleading TCP server docs and example.
socket.recv(), as documented by the Python reference documentation,
returns at most `bufsize` bytes, and the underlying TCP protocol means
there is no guaranteed correspondence between what is sent by the client
and what is received by the server.
This conflation could mislead readers into thinking that TCP is
datagram-based or has similar semantics, which will likely appear to
work for simple cases, but introduce difficult to reproduce bugs.
The text clearly seems to be referencing `TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin`,
for which no target is available. Name the class properly and suppress
the dangling reference.
Return files and directories from `pathlib.Path.glob()` if the pattern ends
with `**`. This is more compatible with `PurePath.full_match()` and with
other glob implementations such as bash and `glob.glob()`. Users can add a
trailing slash to match only directories.
In my previous patch I added a `FutureWarning` with the intention of fixing
this in Python 3.15. Upon further reflection I think this was an
unnecessarily cautious remedy to a clear bug.

nedbat took issue with the phrasing "real module". I'm actually fine
with that phrasing, but I do think the `__future__` page should be clear
about the way in which the `__future__` module is special. (Yes, there
was a footnote linking to the future statements part of the reference,
but there should be upfront discussion).
I'm sympathetic to nedbat's claim that no one really cares about
`__future__._Feature`, so I've moved the interesting table up to the
top.
Add `ntpath.isreserved()`, which identifies reserved pathnames such as "NUL", "AUX" and "CON".
Deprecate `pathlib.PurePath.is_reserved()`.

In 49f90ba we added support for the recursive wildcard `**` in
`pathlib.PurePath.match()`. This should allow arbitrary prefix and suffix
matching, like `p.match('foo/**')` or `p.match('**/foo')`, but there's a
problem: for relative patterns only, `match()` implicitly inserts a `**`
token on the left hand side, causing all patterns to match from the right.
As a result, it's impossible to match relative patterns from the left:
`PurePath('foo/bar').match('bar/**')` is true!
This commit reverts the changes to `match()`, and instead adds a new
`full_match()` method that:
- Allows empty patterns
- Supports the recursive wildcard `**`
- Matches the *entire* path when given a relative pattern
`threading.Lock` is now the underlying class and is constructable rather than the old
factory function. This allows for type annotations to refer to it which had no non-ugly
way to be expressed prior to this.

The terminal CR -> NL mapping setting should be inherited in cbreak mode as OSes do not specify altering it as part of their stty cbreak mode definition.
The GH-93000 change set inadvertently caused a sentence in re.compile()
documentation to refer to details that no longer followed. Correct this
with a link to the Flags sub-subsection.

Allow `os.PathLike` objects to be passed as patterns to `pathlib.Path.glob()` and `rglob()`. (It's already possible to use them in `PurePath.match()`)
While we're in the area:
- Allow empty glob patterns in `PathBase` (but not `Path`)
- Speed up globbing in `PathBase` by generating paths with trailing slashes only as a final step, rather than for every intermediate directory.
- Simplify and speed up handling of rare patterns involving both `**` and `..` segments.
Tkinter is a fact, not necessarily a feature.
Reorganize editor key bindings in a logical order
and remove those that do not work, at least on Windows.
Improve shell bindings list.
This is a very soft deprecation of `PurePath.as_uri()`. We instead document
it as a `Path` method, and add a couple of sentences mentioning that it's
also available in `PurePath`.

Align the multiprocessing shared memory docs with Diatáxis's
recommendations for references.
- use a parameter list for the SharedMemory.__init__() argument spec
- use the imperative mode
- use versionadded, not versionchanged, for added parameters
- reflow touched lines according to SemBr
- add :class: and :mod: markups where needed
- fix incorrect escaping of a star in ShareableList arg spec
- mark up parameters with stars: *val*
- mark up list of built-in types using list markup
- remove unneeded parentheses from :meth: markups
If *trackfd* is False, the file descriptor specified by *fileno*
will not be duplicated.

On Windows, `os.path.isabs()` now returns `False` when given a path that
starts with exactly one (back)slash. This is more compatible with other
functions in `os.path`, and with Microsoft's own documentation.
Also adjust `pathlib.PureWindowsPath.is_absolute()` to call
`ntpath.isabs()`, which corrects its handling of partial UNC/device paths
like `//foo`.

The MagicMock documentation mentions magic methods several times without
actually pointing to the term in the glossary. This can be helpful for
people to fully understand what those magic methods are.
Make zipfile.ZipInfo.compress_level public.
A property is used to retain the behavior of the ._compresslevel.
People constructing zipfile.ZipInfo instances to pass into existing APIs to control per-file compression levels already treat this as public, there was never a reason for it not to be.
I used the more modern name compress_level instead of compresslevel as the keyword argument on other ZipFile APIs is called to be consistent with compress_type and a general long term preference of not runningwordstogether without a separator in names.
On Windows, set _O_NOINHERIT flag on file descriptors
created by os.pipe() and io.WindowsConsoleIO.
Add test_pipe_spawnl() to test_os.

Previously the C implementation of pickle.Pickler and pickle.Unpickler
classes did not have such methods and they could only be used if
they were overloaded in subclasses or set as instance attributes.
Fixed calling super().persistent_id() and super().persistent_load() in
subclasses of the C implementation of pickle.Pickler and pickle.Unpickler
classes. It no longer causes an infinite recursion.
