* Passing a string as the "real" keyword argument is now an error;
it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
* Passing a complex number as the "real" or "imag" argument is now deprecated;
it should only be passed as a single positional argument.
* Remove the equivalence with real+imag*1j which can be incorrect in corner
cases (non-finite numbers, the sign of zeroes).
* Separately document the three roles of the constructor: parsing a string,
converting a number, and constructing a complex from components.
* Document positional-only parameters of complex(), float(), int() and bool()
as positional-only.
* Add examples for complex() and int().
* Specify the grammar of the string for complex().
* Improve the grammar of the string for float().
* Describe more explicitly the behavior when real and/or imag arguments are
complex numbers. (This will be deprecated in future.)
The Full Grammar specification in the docs omits rule actions, so grammar rules that raise a syntax error looked like valid syntax.
This was solved in ef940de by hiding those rules in the custom syntax highlighter.
This moves all syntax-error alternatives to invalid rules, adds a validator that ensures that actions containing RAISE_SYNTAX_ERROR are in invalid rules, and reverts the syntax highlighter hack.
GH-25416 accidentally replaced a reference to the *stderr* argument of
`subprocess.run` with a reference to the *stdin* argument. *stdin* is
not affected by the `check_output` option.

Structure layout, and especially bitfields, sometimes resulted in clearly
wrong behaviour like overlapping fields. This fixes

pathlib now treats "`.`" as a valid file extension (suffix). This brings
it in line with `os.path.splitext()`.
In the (private) pathlib ABCs, we add a new `ParserBase.splitext()` method
that splits a path into a `(root, ext)` pair, like `os.path.splitext()`.
This method is called by `PurePathBase.stem`, `suffix`, etc. In a future
version of pathlib, we might make these base classes public, and so users
will be able to define their own `splitext()` method to control file
extension splitting.
In `pathlib.PurePath` we add optimised `stem`, `suffix` and `suffixes`
properties that don't use `splitext()`, which avoids computing the path
base name twice.
Attempted to simultaneously reduce verbosity, while more descriptively
describing behavior.
Fix links (RLock acquire/release previously linking to Lock
acquire/release, seems like bad copy pasta).
Add a seealso for with-locks.

When updating the new exec note added in gh-119235 as part of the
PEP 667 general docs PR, I suggested a workaround that isn't valid.
The first half of the note is still reasonable, so just omit the invalid text.
* bpo-15987: Implement ast.compare
Add a compare() function that compares two ASTs for structural equality. There are two set of attributes on AST node objects, fields and attributes. The fields are always compared, since they represent the actual structure of the code. The attributes can be optionally be included in the comparison. Attributes capture things like line numbers of column offsets, so comparing them involves test whether the layout of the program text is the same. Since whitespace seems inessential for comparing ASTs, the default is to compare fields but not attributes.
ASTs are just Python objects that can be modified in arbitrary ways. The API for ASTs is under-specified in the presence of user modifications to objects. The comparison respects modifications to fields and attributes, and to _fields and _attributes attributes. A user could create obviously malformed objects, and the code will probably fail with an AttributeError when that happens. (For example, adding "spam" to _fields but not adding a "spam" attribute to the object.)

The PEP 649 implementation will require a way to load NotImplementedError
from the bytecode. @markshannon suggested implementing this by converting
LOAD_ASSERTION_ERROR into a more general mechanism for loading constants.
This PR adds this new opcode. I will work on the rest of the implementation
of the PEP separately.
