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).
* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer().
The int.is_integer() method always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True.
* bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int.
This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass
implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and
may have suboptimal performance for other types.
* bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one.
This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's
lowest form, as required by the class docstring.
* bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method.
The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound
method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational.
These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method.
* bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float.
The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations
which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference
to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of
is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods
on Float'.
The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and
mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or
to handle special values like NaN.
* bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations.
The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses
mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to
Python.
The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer
using to_integral_value().
In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also
implemented.
Tests and documentation are included.
* bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file.
* bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal.

This shows users that they can use the actual types. Using deprecated types is confusing.
This also prefers colections.abc.Sized instead of the alias typing.Sized. I guess the aliases were created to make it convenient to import all collections related types from the same place.
This should be backported to 3.9.

This commit reverts commit ac0333e1e1 as the original links are working again and they provide extended features such as comments and alternative versions.
Remove the global _Py_CheckRecursionLimit variable: it has been
replaced by ceval.recursion_limit of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
There is no need to keep the variable for the stable ABI, since
Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() were not usable
in Python 3.8 and older: these macros accessed PyThreadState members,
whereas the PyThreadState structure is opaque in the limited C API.
The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
Doc/requirements.txt becomes the reference for packages and package
versions needed to build the Python documentation.
* Doc/Makefile now uses Doc/requirements.txt
* .travis.yml now uses "make env" of Doc/Makefile
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".
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
