* Add profiling module documentation structure
PEP 799 introduces a new `profiling` package that reorganizes Python's
profiling tools under a unified namespace. This commit adds the documentation
structure to match: a main entry point (profiling.rst) that helps users choose
between profilers, detailed docs for the tracing profiler (profiling-tracing.rst),
and separated pstats documentation.
The tracing profiler docs note that cProfile remains as a backward-compatible
alias, so existing code continues to work. The pstats module gets its own page
since it's used by both profiler types and deserves focused documentation.
* Add profiling.sampling documentation
The sampling profiler is new in Python 3.15 and works fundamentally differently
from the tracing profiler. It observes programs from outside by periodically
capturing stack snapshots, which means zero overhead on the profiled code. This
makes it practical for production use where you can attach to live servers.
The docs explain the key concepts (statistical vs deterministic profiling),
provide quick examples upfront, document all output formats (pstats, flamegraph,
gecko, heatmap), and cover the live TUI mode. The defaults table helps users
understand what happens without any flags.
* Wire profiling docs into the documentation tree
Add the new profiling module pages to the Debugging and Profiling toctree.
The order places the main profiling.rst entry point first, followed by the
two profiler implementations, then pstats, and finally the deprecated profile
module last.
* Convert profile.rst to deprecation stub
The pure Python profile module is deprecated in 3.15 and scheduled for removal
in 3.17. Users should migrate to profiling.tracing (or use the cProfile alias
which continues to work).
The page now focuses on helping existing users migrate: it shows the old vs new
import style, keeps the shared API reference since both modules have the same
interface, and preserves the calibration docs for anyone still using the pure
Python implementation during the transition period.
* Update CLI module references for profiling restructure
Point cProfile to profiling.tracing docs and add profiling.sampling to the
list of modules with CLI interfaces. The old profile-cli label no longer
exists after the documentation restructure.
* Update whatsnew to link to profiling module docs
Enable cross-references to the new profiling module documentation and update
the CLI examples to use the current syntax with the attach subcommand. Also
reference profiling.tracing instead of cProfile since that's the new canonical
name.
Add readline.get_pre_input_hook() to retrieve the current pre-input
hook. This allows applications to save and restore the hook without
overwriting user settings.
Much of the information was duplicated in stdtypes.rst; this PR keeps lexical/syntactical details in Lexical Analysis and the evaluation & runtime behaviour in Standard types, with cross-references between the two.
Since the t-string section only listed differences from f-strings, and the grammar for the two is equivalent, that section was moved to Standard types almost entirely.

This simplifies the Lexical Analysis section on Names (but keeps it technically correct) by putting all the info about non-ASCII characters in a separate (and very technical) section.
It uses a mental model where the parser doesn't handle Unicode complexity “immediately”, but:
- parses any non-ASCII character (outside strings/comments) as part of a name, since these can't (yet) be e.g. operators
- normalizes the name
- validates the name, using the xid_start/xid_continue sets

* gh-140550: PEP 793 reference documentation
Since the PEP calls for soft-deprecation of the existing initialization
function, this reorganizes the relevant docs to put the new way of
doing things first, and de-emphasize the old.
Some bits, like the tutorial, are left out of this patch. (See the
issue for a list.)
* Make Py_{SIZE,IS_TYPE,SET_SIZE} regular functions in stable ABI
Group them together with Py_TYPE & Py_SET_TYPE to cut down
on repetitive preprocessor macros.
Format repetitive definitions in object.c more concisely.
Py_SET_TYPE is still left out of the Limited API.
