b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

430b1563dd Add documentation for the PEP 293 functionality:
The errors attribute can be changed after the reader/writer
is created.

For encoding there are two additional errors values:
"xmlcharrefreplace" and "backslashreplace".

These values can be extended via register_error().
