* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
  featured than their simpilified function counterparts.

* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
  findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.

* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
  functions.  This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
  re.match().

platforms where that macro works, NaN compared to an int or long works
the same as NaN compared to a finite float.

today.  pyconfig.h can override it if not, and can also override
Py_IS_INFINITY now.  Py_IS_NAN and Py_IS_INFINITY are overridden now
for Microsoft compilers, using efficient MS-specific spellings.

When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results.  This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.

Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8.  There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended.  I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.

I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it.  It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy).  Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.

Makes it easier on the eyes and a bit more snappy.

I need to define it again.  Bite the bullet and define it once as an
extern, _Py_SwappedOp[].

Example:
>>> import dis
>>> dis.dis(compile('1,2,3', '', 'eval'))
  0           0 LOAD_CONST               3 ((1, 2, 3))
              3 RETURN_VALUE

Add iteration support to the Message class.
