7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled.  This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.

Py_DECREF:  There's only one definition of this now.  Yay!  That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.

Py_FatalError():  Changed the char* signature to const char*.

_Py_NegativeRefcount():  New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF.  Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code.  The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen).  _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

388fba8504 Added font-setting line (and associated comments) to the A4 version of
this file; the lack of this was causing the A4 version of tutorial to
use really bad Type 3 fonts instead of Type 1 fonts, which also
bloated the file size substantially.

I thought there was a SourceForge bug for this, but couldn't find it.

df872a2052 No need to be ambiguous about *how* extended slices and built-in types
have changed.

Uncomment a heading so that PendingDeprecationWarning doesn't seem so
out of place.

285f4a7db7 Don't list all the keyword args to the TextWrapper constructor in the
classdesc -- just use "..." with prose explaining the correspondence
between keyword args and instance attributes.

Document 'width' along with the other instance attributes.

Describe default values consistently.

Typo fixes.
