Guido van Rossum 46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!

Fred Drake d0c7137c8b Chapter titles that get split over multiple lines in the typeset
formats can't have whitespace after the last non-blank character (bug
