9c20615d4f Back in June in revision 1.98 Steve (accidentally, presumably) wiped
out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).

I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:

    revision 1.97
    date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13;  author: nnorwitz
    Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
    Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
    I've seen \constant{True} in other places.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.95
    date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43;  author: bwarsaw
    Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file()
    constructor, vetted by Barry.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.94
    date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15;  author: rhettinger
    Patch 543387.  Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.93
    date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25;  author: rhettinger
    Added missing index entries for mapping methods.  Closes patch
    #548693.

some checking may be in order.

96b1c903f5 Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
  will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
  argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
  default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
  os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
  can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
  the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.

This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.

with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).

46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!
