Add constants BOM_UTF8, BOM_UTF16, BOM_UTF16_LE, BOM_UTF16_BE,
...
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.
The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally).
...
Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.
This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)

SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole
...
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode. Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).
I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.
