constructing infinities. This is done for backwards compatibility
with decimal.py: Infinity coefficients are undefined in _decimal
(in accordance with the specification).
sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.
Note that the trashcan functions are part of the stable ABI, therefore
they have to be kept around for binary compatibility of extensions.

Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 3.2.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 3.2.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 3.2.3 and earlier will be loadable by 3.2.4.
This eliminates a ResourceWarning, since before webbrowser was
explicitly opening os.devnull and then leaving it open. Tests
to follow.

This shows up as a bug in 3.3 because the definition for Chrome
produces such an empty string. Tests will follow.

This showed up as a bug in 3.3 because the definition for Chrome
produced such an empty string. This fix is tested in 3.3+;
backporting the new test suite is more trouble than it is worth.

Fix window.addch() of the curses module for special characters like
curses.ACS_HLINE: the Python function addch(int) and addch(bytes) is now
calling the C function waddch()/mvwaddch() (as it was done in Python 3.2),
instead of wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch(). The Python function addch(str) is still
calling the C function wadd_wch()/mvwadd_wch() if the Python curses is linked
to libncursesw.
Before, the type function was called twice in the case where the default
was specified and the argument was given as well. This was especially
problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would always be
opened, even if a file argument was specified on the command line.

character for most keys, and an integer for special keys, instead of always
returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like
keypad keys.
