matches to be symmetric.  This makes the algorithm easier to understand.

appeared at the end of a line.  Repaired that.  Also noted that it's
too easy to provoke this implementation into requiring exponential
time, and especially when a test fails.  I'll replace the implementation
with an always-efficient one later.

error based on decorating with staticmethod too soon for the code to execute.
This meant that if the test didn't pass it just errored out.  Now if the test
doesn't pass it leads to a failure instead.

The make_head_and_body() function used a hardcoded value for the
<link> element for the index; this patch causes the proper output
filename to be captured during the transformation phase so it can be
used during the page assembly phase.

this (which are rather ugly, but it'll have to do until test_inspect gets a
major overhaul and a conversion to unittest). Thanks Simon Percivall!

files and not re-optimized upon import.  Saves a bit of startup time while
still remaining decoupled from the rest of the compiler.

As a side benefit, handcoded bytecode is not run through the optimizer
when new code objects are created.  Hopefully, a handcoder has already
created exactly what they want to have run.

(Idea suggested by Armin Rigo and Michael Hudson.  Initially avoided
 because of worries about compiler coupling; however, only the nexus
 point needed to be moved so there won't be a conflict when the AST
 branch is loaded.)

Per Guido, sys.exitfunc will be kept around for backwards compatability
but atexit will become the one preferred way to do it.

[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order

From the description:

Changes in this patch:

- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.

- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers

- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)

- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)

and the comment:

Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)

(I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to
talk to him)

  The normalize operation has been added; it reduces a number to a
  canonical form.  (This replaces the trim operator, which only
  removed trailing fractional zeros.)

test suite in version 2.39 of dectest.zip.

(version 1.45):

The max and min operations follow the rules in the current IEEE 754 revision draft:
if one operand is a quiet NaN and the other is number, then the number is always returned
if both operands are finite and equal in numerical value then an ordering is applied:
    if the signs differ then max returns the operand with the positive sign and
    min returns the operand with the negative sign; if the signs are the same then
    the exponent is used to select the result.

  version 2.39 of dectest.zip adds some new test files and because
  some existing test files were getting skipped).
* Remove two docstrings which cluttered unittest's output.
* Simplify a for-loop with a list comprehension.

Strengthen the warnings about creating bogus objects using the new module.

Document a nuance of super().  It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.
