15b68976da Remove the following restriction: 
Names bound by import statements may not occur in global
    statements in the same scope.

Why not?

d09ed68aeb Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable. 
Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.

5381588073 Revise the markup related to the grammar productions to increase the 
level of predictability.  This is not really "good" markup, but is arguably
better than we had before.
This closes SF bug #523117.

08fd51509c When describing "import *", add a level of indirection between "*" and the 
set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public
names" that describes the use of __all__.
This closes SF bug #473986.

Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().

cb4638a278 Change the grammar productions to use the new productionlist environment; 
this supports a hyperlinked version of the grammar that can make tracking
down details and definitions a little easier.

8c0a242289 PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL. 
Document the extended print form.  Fred, please double check the
markup!

8bad612881 Disallow "import mod.submod as m", because the result is ambiguous. Does it 
load mod.submod as m, or mod as m ? Both can be achieved differently, and
unambiguously. Also attempt to document this restriction (editor
appreciated!)

Note that this is an artificial check during compile, because incorporating
this in the grammar is hard, and then adjusting the compiler to do the right
thing with the right nodes is harder.

5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import 
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

f9b526dbfd More of Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes. The only ones left now are the 
distutils patches, which I'll leave to the distutils maintainers.

Tip: review the patch like this:

grep "^[\!+-] " <patchfile>

To get a quick and easy way to review the actual changes. Most of the
changes are single-line ones, anyway.

38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline 
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)

56c2013d15 Changes copied from the FrameMaker version. Also documented some 
previously undocumented features.

Packages and the import mechanism in general are still left
undocumented.

5f574aace9 Added back the description of the exec statement. It appears that I 
accidentally cut it out when removing the access statement!  Added a
paragraph on __builtins__ and other possible manipulations of the key
space of the dictionaries.  Added some index entries.
