77f6a65eb0
Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
...
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Replace section 4.1 with section A.3.
The new section 4.1 is titled "Naming and binding." It includes the

The \dfn, \index stuff is probably wrong, but I tried.
Also update other parts of appendix A to mention that nested scopes
and generators are standard features.

Explain that PyObject_New() is not a C function but a polymorphic
