- Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the

collector will be saved in gc.garbage. This is useful for debugging a
program that creates reference cycles.

Correct some bitrot; some things have become inaccurate in the tutorial.

<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.
Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:
...
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

.use_latex(): Make this a little smarter so that it only runs pdflatex

This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
...
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890 .
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
