[docs] [issue28116] Error in what's new - PEP 515

Pierre Ducroquet report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Pierre Ducroquet:

The what's new section about PEP 515 says :
«With PEP 515, though, you can use underscores to separate digits as desired to make numeric literals easier to read: 1_000_000_000_000_000. Underscores can be used with other numeric literals beyond integers, e.g. 0x_FF_FF_FF_FF.»

As far as I know, 0xFFFFFFFF is 2 ** 32 - 1, an integer.
I think the author meant «beyond decimals»
