Minor local consistency adjustments.
A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description.
For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become

Fix a couple of minor markup nits.

Footnotes should be added *after* punctuation, not before.
(Yes, this should be merged with the descr branch. Sorry, Tim!)

95400a28e4
Updated the documentation in several respects:
...
- This module, despite its name, now should conform to RFC 2822, the
update to RFC 822.
- This module doesn't just represent "email headers", but entire email
messages.
- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().

On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
...
instead of raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The
other one was integer division...) This implements (my) SF patch
#440487 .

First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,
...
could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.
Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff! You both need to proof this.

List constraints on xrange() objects.

3f56166b1a
Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
...
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes. This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().

Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
...
committed.
tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.
tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).
inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.

Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
...
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
