The docs for `heapq.merge` are a little misleading. Iterables passed
into heapq.merge with the reversed flag enabled must be sorted from
largest to smallest to achieve the desired sorting effect, but the
previous paragraph states that they should be sorted from smallest
to largest.
Allow developers to not have to either test on N Python versions or
looked through multiple versions of the docs to know whether they can
easily update.
The Windows-specific subprocess.STARTUPINFO class now accepts
keyword-only arguments to its constructor to set the various
data attributes.

* bpo-16285: Update urllib quoting to RFC 3986
urllib.parse.quote is now based on RFC 3986, and hence
includes `'~'` in the set of characters that is not escaped
by default.
Patch by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath.
- Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register
- Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser
The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state
'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only
'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the
front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call.
The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting
and then uses that to make the default browser reported by
`xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or
another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable).
This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder
queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support
the "new window" option.
* bpo-29463: Add docstring field to some AST nodes.
ClassDef, ModuleDef, FunctionDef, and AsyncFunctionDef has docstring
field for now. It was first statement of there body.
* fix document. thanks travis!
* doc fixes

This commit undeprecates these functions and adds a note to ignore
previous deprecation notices.
As of Python 3.6 **kwargs are ordered, thus, remove the paragraph stating that
ordering is undefined and change snippet to remove the unecessary sorted call.
* Add sentence mentioning guaranteed output order of kwargs
