literals that look like identifiers.  Also intern all strings used as
names during the compilation.

hash value.  Interning strings (which requires hash caching) tries to
ensure that only one string object with a given value exists, so
equality tests are one pointer comparison.  Together, these can speed
the interpreter up by as much as 20%.  Each costs the size of a long
or pointer per string object.  In addition, interned strings live
until the end of times.  If you are concerned about memory footprint,
simply comment the #define out here (and rebuild everything!).

break to most cases, as suggested by Tim Peters.  This gives another
8-10% speedup.

fileno(std*).

from compile.h.  Remove all eval stack overflow checks.

to PyCode_New() argument list.  Move MAXBLOCKS constant to conpile.h.

Added accurate calculation of the actual stack size needed by the
generated code.

Also commented out all fprintf statements (except for a new one to
diagnose stack underflow, and one in #ifdef'ed out code), and added
some new TO DO suggestions (now that the stacksize is taken of the TO
DO list).

to PyCode_New() argument list.  Also add CO_MAXBLOCKS constant
indicating the maximum static nesting supported by the compiler.

should raise TypeError, not ValueError...

dis() still disassembles the last frame of the lats stack trace.

dis(x) disassembles x, which may be a code object, function, or method.

disassemble(co, [lasti]) disassembles a code object; the lasti
argument is now optional.

disco(...) is an alias for disassemble(...), for backward compatibility.

Reindented.

to Python.  Minimal documentation is included in comments at the top
of the file, and in the Misc/PURIFY.README file.  Note that this
module must be statically linked since Pure doesn't provide shared
stubs libraries.

(Setup.in): Added commented template for pure module

(syslogmodule.c): ins() function wasn't declared static.

- add opcodes BINARY_LSHIFT ... BINARY_OR

- remove RESERVE_FAST

- Skip M's suggestion for displaying which comparison operator is meant

big-endian machines.  This is done by directing the struct module's pack
and unpack methods to treat the data always in bin endian format.
This has been tested on irix (big endian) and solaris x86 (little endian)

unsigned.  This fixes the 8bit-char-in-key platform incompatibility.

I also removed the old backwards compatibility code, and the commented
lisp rotor code.  I retained the lisp docstrings as comments preceding
each function.
