- Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions
...
and left shifts. (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.
This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
