Issue #14123: Explicitly mention that old style % string formatting has caveats but is not going away any time soon.

but is not going away any time soon.

#14081: The sep and maxsplit parameter to str.split, bytes.split, and bytearray.split may now be passed as keyword arguments.

When people find bugs in scripts such as reindent.py, msgfmt.py or
pygettext.py, we have to try to reproduce the bug manually, apply a fix
and test manually again.  The alternative is to only read the code and
trust that it works.  This test file is a way to stop that
unsatisfactory state of things and write proper unit tests instead.

These regex changes fix a number of issues for distutils on Windows:
- #6884: impossible to include a file starting with 'build'
- #9691 and #14004: sdist includes too many files
- #13193: test_filelist failures

This commit replaces the incorrect changes done in 0a94e2f807c7 and
90b30d62caf2 to fix #13193; we were too eager to fix the test failures
and I did not study the code enough before greenlighting patches.  This
time we have unit tests from the problems reported by users to be sure
we have the right fix.

Thanks to Nadeem Vawda for his help.

  and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.

  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
  and many ideas.

- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
  non-contiguous arrays.

- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.

dict anymore if the key is present. Reject also non-string qualified names.
And fix reference leaks in type.__new__().

str.title(). Compute correctly how much memory is required for the test

 * Decode thousands separator and decimal point using PyUnicode_DecodeLocale()
   (from the locale encoding), instead of decoding them implicitly from latin1
 * Remove _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGroupingLocale(), it was not used
 * Change _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping() API to return the maximum
   character if unicode is NULL
 * Replace MIN/MAX macros by Py_MIN/Py_MAX
 * stringlib/undef.h undefines STRINGLIB_IS_UNICODE
 * stringlib/localeutil.h only supports Unicode
